Dimmer Hitch

A man wants a woman with wit enough
  to see that the house is clean
  and figure the time for the roast to be done,
  raise children that are fit to be seen.

A man wants a woman with wit enough
  to charm his clients at dinner.
  It's not really true that they like them  dull,
  only a little bit dimmer!

Gershon Wolf Date: 10/25/2022 7:30:00 PM Oh, is this ever precious, Elizabeth. You really nailed it. Who wants an 'uppity woman' in the castle? ~ Prince Charles.

Joe Dimino Date: 10/25/2022 5:26:00 PM I love women, and they are all smarter than me. God in His Wisdom. Would not have it any other way. Love it!

Rico Leffanta Date: 10/25/2022 11:10:00 AM I love women, especially those smarter than I am! But the majority of men do think women should be submissive servants rather than at least a peer, which is why so many women fail to develop their intrinsic talents and abilities and prove men need to change their attitude! Just look at all the cultures which believe women can't sing! Enjoyed! Aloha!

That's why seeing you on my screen always makes me smile! Elizabeth

Speaks Volumes Date: 10/25/2022 9:59:00 AM Perfect, Perfect, Perfect ! Never a truer word was committed to print, Elizabeth. I wonder how many of us have had to "act" a little dumb, and stroke a man's ego, when dating someone we were interested in. Your poem is brilliant.

Elizabeth Mccann Date: 10/25/2022 2:27:00 PM Thanks so much, Wendy. So true! I accomplished this by marrying when I was 19. Unfortunately i grew up!! Elizabeth

Sotto Poet Date: 10/24/2022 7:46:00 PM Elizabeth, you have written such beautiful poetry. In point of fact, males are constantly self-centered and even lethargic; they view women as a slave excellent for accomplishing anything, including the tasks that are unfeasible. Login to Reply Elizabeth Mccann Date: 10/25/2022 1:42:00 AM Sotto, you actually made me weep a little. I was afraid to post this for fear of being lambasted so I feel quite relieved! A species dies out when its inherent behavior creates a vulnerability. Our competitive stance, not only male, I admit, is preventing our addressing poverty and climate change. Poof! Elizabeth
