Eileen Manassian Poet Couplet

Careful, Careful- a Womans Mantra

Careful, careful what you say
If you’re not, he’ll go away

Careful, careful what you write
If you’re not, he’ll get a fright

Careful, careful how you walk
If you’re not, he’ll start to stalk

Careful, careful how you dress
If you’re not, he’ll be a mess

Careful, careful how you spin
If you’re not, he’ll fall in sin

Careful, careful how you moan
If you’re not, he’ll make you groan

Careful, careful how you speak
If you’re not, he’ll make you weak

Careful, careful how you flirt
If you’re not, he’ll say you’re dirt

Careful, careful don’t give all
If you do, he’ll make you fall.

Andrea Dietrich May 17, 2013 at 9:47 AM oh my gosh, you have said in a fun way what a lot of women come to learn in life. No matter what you do, there is bound to be some guy who is displeased by it!! I sure enjoyed this one.

Demetrios Trifiatis May 16, 2013 at 5:49 AM To be a woman is an art! You, my dear, are very artistic! Thank you! Grapse! Eileen Manassian May 16, 2013 at 11:18 AM :) I take that as a lovely compliment, my dear poet! Thanks for the visit.

Richard Lamoureux May 15, 2013 at 7:45 PM Careful is not you. All your wonderful spirit flows freely from your insatiable pen. Eileen Manassian May 15, 2013 at 11:46 PM I am insatiable at that, Richard. It's so good when you have people who know you well enough to take your impulsiveness in their stride. :) Thanks for your visit. Always a pleasure!!!

Timothy Hicks May 15, 2013 at 6:51 PM This is most unhealthy! Like Richard said below me I really can't imagine you being "careful"... it sounds more like Eileen's evil twin (or would it be good twin?)... KIDDING! Excellent work! Eileen Manassian May 15, 2013 at 11:45 PM OK...the EVIL TWIN! She's definitely around! Be careful, Timothy! Be very careful! Spooky horror movie score playing in the background...Evil laughter HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Richard D Seal May 15, 2013 at 6:36 PM I prefer the uncareful woman myself. Why should women be careful. Is that just to please a dominant man? Can't see you adhereing to your own words for a minute here Eileen lol. Take care, Richard Eileen Manassian May 15, 2013 at 11:44 PM I can be very submissive when I need to be, Richard. I'm a good girl! I serve my husband and do what I'm told! ;) Sometimes with some grumbling....Yes, I AM learning to be more careful. I'm usually quite impulsive and say what's in my heart before I've had a chance to put it through the filters of society. :( You live..you learn!

Guru Jad May 15, 2013 at 4:40 PM Eileen... what a mantra!!!! Every man should read this carefully and memorize it to appreciate what women go through to please men.... And men who failed to appreciate a woman's strife are not illegible to be entitled as men. Loved this write so much! Eileen Manassian May 15, 2013 at 4:41 PM I loved your comment, my dear! Glad you liked it. I had more verses...but decided to cut some out... :)
