A light hearted poem !
Maybe I have a death wish, for some this might be too true to be funny but here, in the form of a poem, we have.....

What A Woman Wants !?

They don't really know, they're as fickle as hell,

So if that's the truth how can we tell ?

One second this, the next second that,

"Do you really and truly think I am fat ? "

As if we'll say yes, that's a sure way to die,

So tell them they're thin even if it's a lie!

"Do you know the way ? " Hell we can read,

And if we get lost we promise to plead.

"Don't argue with me!" As if we would dare,

Unless for our health we no longer care.

"So you're watching TV ? I think it's time to go out. "

As if we've a choice, that much I doubt !

"Now I'm going to bed, my head really aches. "

Now there's a surprise, for heaven's sake!

At least a chance to watch the tele in peace,

If only the blooming remote she'd agree to release.

Oh my lord now she's getting serious, "I want to settle down. "

That's Ok with me though, there are plenty of guys around.

But heck she overhears me talking to "Patch " ( that's HER dog of course)

Ears like an elephant and a memory to match.

Now I am well and truly spent,

The couch if I'm lucky, more likely my tent.

"I don't care if it's minus five,

Just do as your told if you want to survive."

At least surely now I will get peace and quiet,

And stop having to listen about her never ending diet.

But I should know better, "Patch" is in the doghouse as well,

So I'm sharing with him, boy does he smell.

I'm beginning to think it would be better to go,

But I know if I leave the waterworks will flow.

"Please, I forgive you. " What the hell have I done ??

You know who is the problem and I'm not the one !

But I'll probably cave in, dont we all in the end,

And to think years ago I thought she was my friend !!

Hey, I'm back in her good books, I decided to stay,

To make things even better she's gone away,

Just a week in Corfu, but that's a week of bliss,

Though when she rings I'm sure to tell her she's missed !

Yep, like a hole in the head, but don't tell her that,

Else I'm a goner, that much is a fact.

"Pick us up at the airport, don't be late,

We're due to arrive at a quarter to eight. "

Is that morning or evening ? Hell, I don't care,

I'll wait all day, I have to be there.

But what's with the "we", does she think I drive a bus,

But I'll do as I'm told, I don't need the fuss.

So I'm there on time, I wait and wait,

I'm sure she said a quarter to eight ?

Ah, my phone is ringing, yep it is her,

"Were the hell are you, do we have to wait all year ? "

What! You're at Heathrow? What are you doing there?

Oh never mind, Gatwick's not far,

Give me an hour, I'll get my racing car.

She's clearly not happy, I fear the worst,

A quick call to the Undertaker to arrange my hearse

So now I'm at Heathrow but where has she gone ?

My phone's ringing again, it's my good mate John.

" I've just had a call from my wife Joan,

Boy oh boy, can that woman moan! "

And so I find out they all took the tube,

Yes, don't bother telling me, I'm a mind reader too!

But now I really and truly cannot face going home,

I'm really not keen on being clobbered by our garden knome.

But for once luck is with me, I still have my tent,

And tomorrow I'll advertsise for a trailer to rent !

On the other hand.....
A Poem for Women

He didn't like the casserole
And he didn't like my cake.
My biscuits were too hard...
Not like his mother used to make.

I didn't perk the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.

I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Then I turned around and SMACKED him...
Like his Mother used to do.

More light-headedness!
There must be something the matter with him

because he would not be acting as he does

unless there was

therefore he is acting as he is

because there is something the matter with him



He does not think there is anything the matter with him

because

one of the things that is

the matter with him

is that he does not think that there is anything

the matter with him

therefore

we have to help him realize that,

the fact that he does not think there is anything

the matter with him

is one of the things that is

the matter with him

there is something the matter with him

because he thinks

there must be something the matter with us

for trying to help him to see

that there must be something the matter with him

to think that tere is omething the matter with us

for trying to help him to see that

we are helping him

to see that

we are not persecuting him

by helping him

to see we are not persecuting him

by helping him

to see that

he is refusing to see

that there is something the matter with

him

for not seing there is something the matter

with him

for not being grateful to us

for at least trying to help him

to see that there is something the matter with

him

for not seeing that must be something the

matter with him

for not seeing that there must be something the

matter with him

for not seeing that there is something the

matter with him

for not seeing that there is something the

matter with him



for not being grateful



that we never tried to make him

feel grateful

The soul of Rumi
A man once asked Rumi, "Why is it you talk so much about silence?"

His answer: "The radiant one inside me has never said a word."

love is a place
love is a place
& through this place of
love move
(with brightness of peace)
all
places

yes is a world
& in this world of
yes lives
(skilfully curled)
all worlds

E.E. Cummings
