Answers -that's all I want, just - answers But all I seem to get are more questions Clearly there must be explanations Directly related to the subject at hand - Every time the subject arises Fumbling and stuttering rise to the fore Great efforts are put forth to avoid Helping me understand things this deep I believe the world is sworn to secrecy Just to keep young men confused Keeping me that way seems to be a simple chore - Letting me in on the secret seems to be the hard part My own wishes count for naught Nothing I can do seems to change my plight Only darkness surrounds my inquiries Perish the thought that an adult would assist me Queries are for grownups seems to be the rule Rarely am I given the attention I deserve Shall I assume the question is too much - Though that would surprise me and be Unfit for the education of the young - Vacant seems to be the state of mind when asked; "What does a woman really want?" Xmas will come and go without resolution - Yelling and stamping my feet is childish and Zero is what I know now and that is unlikely to change 2-12-20 Contest: Abecedarian Sponsor: Caren Krutsinger
