Listen Up!

A secret about us ladies…

Listen up, you too cool dudes!

Pay attention, ya “totally hoopy froods!”

I’ve got a secret I’m a waitin’ to tell…

But, some ladies don’t know… s’I ain’t gon' yell!

You opine and moan… you don’t understand us.

Hang about! There’s no need for such fuss!

The plain truth… I’m tellin’ ya true…

We really don’t understand you!

That’s not the secret I wanna share…

I don’t know… ya might not even care…

Still, here’s why she can’t help you understand her…

It’s silly but true… I think you’ll concur…

Not jokin’ when I say this… seriously, brother!

We ladies really don’t understand each other!

Great light heartedness in this writing, and in a way quite the arrival really. Trying to let us know that is not so much of a question of gender understanding but more of human beings understanding each other and the moment, only logical I guess when we are told that if us, as males do not understand the female counterpart, amongst each other, the same appears to be.

Oh, boy we are doomed then.

Thankyou

The research may never lead to full discovery… but, ahhhhh… what delightful experiments! :D

what a funny poem that speaks volumes. It is hard for genders to understand one another. Hell, it is hard for an individual to understand himself.

[MomzillaNC]

It's definitely difficult for us understand ourselves. Is it any wonder we struggle to understand each other?

Thanks!

You sure got this one right on! I loved it from the beginning; a great ride and found myself thinking, she's right, just like I think. You pulled me again. From the start to the ending. It's great!

Fun words, finely put - we all need a few laughs these days, whichever gender. However, please translate, ' totally hoopy froods! ' Can't help being a thick Brit!

[MomzillaNC]

It's a Douglas Adams reference from something his characters Ford Prefect and Zaphod Beeblebrox said in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe trilogy.

[MomzillaNC]

BTW: A VERY classic British portrayal of humor in those books.
