Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

Books

In all fairness there was a time
Men were smarter than women
Better read
For the simple reason
We didn’t place the books on our head

Now I do confess, this statement will hurt me true
As a book comes flying across my face turned blue
I better rethink my conclusions of life 
Or me lady will make my time here pure strife
Wisdom you see is learned in real life!

Paul Callus February 9, 2015 at 8:48 AM Clever and witty all in one! As an aside...it's terrible that in this day and age, in certain countries, females are still being denied the right for education! // paul Arthur Vaso February 10, 2015 at 8:49 PM Yes Paul, so true, and I wrote something on that topic as well. http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/i_am_malala_511234

Poesy Relish February 9, 2015 at 5:49 AM Lol you better be careful Arthur... Arthur Vaso February 10, 2015 at 8:46 PM LOL I know, but those who know me know I am kidding, There are still may places in the world, where women truly have a difficult time to get an education, and this for me is very sad. I refer you another poem I wrote! http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/i_am_malala_511234

Connie Marcum Wong February 8, 2015 at 9:02 PM Men were allowed to get an education encouraged to, but not so with the ladies, However; I know what you were getting at in your poem. It was amusing reading about what your wife would do. A fun write Arthur! Connie Marcum Wong February 8, 2015 at 9:39 PM I tried the link but it just took me to server error. I will have a look from going to google. Arthur Vaso February 8, 2015 at 9:06 PM I Have no wife Connie, just seemed like the best way to say the message here, and yes the hidden meaning in my poem was what you just explained!!!!! I write a lot of historical poems of women in history for that very reason! This is one http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/bianca_of_venice_458833 Arthur Vaso February 8, 2015 at 9:02 PM Thanks Robert, I was already wise, but the photo did indeed make me smile!

Robert Lindley February 8, 2015 at 9:01 PM That it is and not always from a book! A man had best learn that when momma ain't happy , ain't nobody happy. A 7 on this and its dead on... Arthur Vaso February 8, 2015 at 9:03 PM Ops I posted in wrong box!!!
