What can you do with a woman under thirty? <br />It's true she has a certain freshness, like a green apple, <br />but how raw, unformed, without the mellowness of maturity. <br /> <br />What can you talk about with a young woman? <br />That is, if she gives you a chance to talk, <br />as she talks and talks and talks about herself. <br />Her 'self' is the most important object in the universe. <br />She lacks the experience of intimate, sensitive silences. <br /> <br />Why don't young women learn how to make love? <br />They attack with the subtlety of a bull, <br />and moan and sigh with the ardor of a puppy. <br />Panting, they pursue their own pleasure, <br />forgetting to please their partner, as an older woman does. <br /> <br />It's only just that young women get what they deserve. <br />A young man.<br /><br />Dudley Randall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/green-apples/
