THE WOMAN..?

THE WOMAN..?

An angel of truth and a dream of fiction..

A Woman is a bundle of contradictions

She's afraid of a wasp, Will scream at a mouse,

But will tackle her husband alone in the house.

She'll take him for better; she’ll take him for worse

She'll break open his head and then be his nurse.

But when he's well and can get out of bed.

She'll pick up the tea-pot and throw it at his head.

Beautiful and keen sighted yet blind,

Crafty and cruel, yet simple and kind.

She'll call him a king and then make him a clown.

Raise him on a pedestal, and then throw him flat down.

She inspires him to deeds that ennoble man,

Or make him her lackey to carry her fan.

She'll run away from him and never come back

But if he runs away she'll be on his tracks

Sour as vinegar, sweet as a rose

She'll kiss you one minute, then turn up her nose

She'll win you in range, enchant you in silk

She is stronger than brandy, milder than milk

AT TIMES REVENGEFUL, MERRY AND SAD,

SHE HATES YOU LIKE POISON,

BUT LOVES YOU LIKE MAD.
