My muse like any woman will <br /> use her feminine wiles and skill <br />To persuade me to her view <br /> and will persist until I do <br /> Exactly as she wants me to. <br /> <br />I’m well aware that she will win. <br />Should I surrender just give in? <br />I must defend my self respect <br /> it is the least she will expect <br />So I protest to no effect. <br /> <br />When my muse makes up her mind. <br />Like any poet I will find. <br />I have no choice but to obey <br />and there is nothing I can say. <br />She will reject each argument. <br /> <br />That I can muster and present <br />Although it’s futile to resist. <br />My fragile ego will insist <br /> I have no option but persist <br />to register my discontent. <br /> <br />Though this does not deter my muse. <br />She knows full well I can’t refuse. <br />She knows from my past history. <br />I will submit reluctantly <br />She always wins eventually <br /> <br />She knows I must put on a show <br /> to satisfy my male ego. <br />She is prepared to wait until <br /> I do obey her sovereign will. <br />She makes that clearly evident. <br /> <br />I cannot win I’m bound to lose <br />When I argue with my muse. <br />She’s confident she will prevail. <br /> After all I’m only a male <br />Somewhat naïve and innocent. <br /> <br />She knows I am a gentleman <br />that’s why she’s certain that she can. <br />Persuade coerce or bully me <br />Until give in and agree. <br />My muse will brook no argument. <br /> <br />Sunday,24 October 2010 <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/foregone-conclusion-for-m-selle-perrault/
