My dad one day <br />explained women to me. <br /> <br />Home from college <br />he had planned it; <br />a special moment between us <br />and curious beyond belief <br />and I was all aquiver <br />anticipating <br />what my Dad would have to say. <br /> <br />'Now keep in mind 'he said. <br />'women are not like men <br />they are always thinking <br />always feeling <br />and they pay attention to everything. <br /> <br />Nothing is neutral <br />when it comes to your female species. <br />Now you and us menses <br />can live in caves <br />eating pizza <br />and would <br />if we had the chance; <br />they civilized us <br />introduced us to china <br />forks and spoons <br />and clean underwear. <br /> <br />Now your dirty socks piled up over there <br />won't do <br />if you want to get married <br />Turn your head to special <br />days, birthdays and anniversaries <br />and the day you and your future wife first meet. <br /> <br />Your first date. <br /> <br />Write those dates down on your forehead <br />Learn to like all women, <br />but love only <br />The One. <br /> <br />Don't even <br />when dating <br />sneak a peak <br />at passing Ones. <br /> <br />Don't look too low <br />at the Twins <br /> <br />Don't look too high <br />rather take it slow <br />and look deep into her eyes. <br /> <br />There is where all answers lie. <br />Memorize her face, her lips; <br />times she laughs <br />times she cries. <br /> <br />Above all understand <br />you have the privilege <br />of living with someone <br />who represents <br />the Superior Ones. <br />Yes, they are smarter <br />quicker, verbaler <br />and you my son <br />are just along for the ride. <br /> <br />And you know <br />never in my life <br />have I gotten <br />better advice. <br /> <br />And I just yesterday <br />passed it along <br />to my son. <br /> <br />.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/more-verbaler-john/
