A Fetching Feline

Our knees freely sweat
  and our hearts go thump
    For a fetching feline 
    we plunge deep into debt

  We think we're so macho
  nerves and muscles of steel
    Truth is we're like putty
    in the path of high heels

  They're stronger than we are
  That much I'll concede...
    But why must they make
    our pocketbooks bleed

Hey Wolfie had a convo with a guy once that if a woman made a guy miserable ie could cause him pain he called that love.Kinda like Groucho Marx said he would not belong to a club that would have him as a member.Now wolf you know I am just puttying around as well.Though often truth to be found in jest......

Because our ability and necessary choice to do so is how the male of the species determines our worth. Be mindful of the bank be regarded low brow and rank.Make the sky the limit they walk through fire to have you in it as their sun and moon.Crazy,I know.The more they pay,the more they value.You guys bring it on yourselves it appears.Also put a trollette in high heels and check their impact.

Because that is the nature of the beast, gw. Because we are "putty in the path of high heels!"

It’s because felines are divine and it’s all down to purrfect design… Belle

Well, that is correct. Felines are closer to the Divinity than we male are... Purrhaps, anyway! lol
