Women Have Some Nerve

Women Have Some Nerve! By Elton Camp Those selfish women! Confound ’em Think the world revolves around ’em It seems that no matter what they say They expect to have things their way On one issue, men must concede defeat That’s the “up or down” on the toilet seat She shows no appreciation that I can see She should be grateful he raises it to pee Instead, she will continually fume and fuss If it isn’t lowered she’ll then begin to cuss What right has she to pitch fits If she doesn’t look before she sits For him to laugh would be too rash On hearing her behind go splash Thus, it’s better for him to give in If he wants to keep her as a friend

Deep heart felt emotions displaced in this piece. Subject matter is true to life...these are some of the things that women get upset about. Yes it can be irritating at time but remember to Keep the peace. A soft answer turns away wrath but grievous words stir anger.

I love this! Yes of course 'women have some nerve' - it's just the way the world is, deal. The question of the toilet seat is not up for discussion. But there are some issues that tend to go overboard - those are the issues men must decide if compromise is worth it to keep the women in their lives. Great write Elton!

Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment. A man unwilling to compromise had best stay single! Elton
