So I was wrong <br />it proves I guess I am <br />the kind of guy whose <br />outside the square thinking <br />determines where he gets <br />misinformation <br /> <br />Helen Rowland said <br />‘To be happy with a man you <br />must understand him a lot <br />and love him a little <br />To be happy with a woman <br />you must love her a lot and not <br />try to understand her at all’ <br /> <br />It didn’t reach me except <br />as a woman’s oversimplification <br />of an impossible study and there <br />is the rub; I do understand the <br />woman I love but her happiness <br />won’t stay intact <br /> <br />I saw where Rowland’s words lead <br />in this infarct following exodus of the girl <br />who loved me a lot but understood <br />me not at all – and I claim foul <br />We were deceived by a call <br />from the rules misread <br />in another’s game<br /><br />Ivan Donn Carswell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rules-misread/
