Brittany Reynolds Poet Couplet

Gender Study- Cat Calls

Tiring. You’d think they’d stop walking this street,
with all the men who do nothing but bleat.

Hopeless. When has a cat call succeeded?
You’d think they’d stop after they’re unheeded.

Heaven forbid I do not once call out. 
“Gay” (and much worse) the idiots would shout.

Goodness knows that I will never respond.
Who knows of more wretched men ever spawned?

How did this idiotic practice start?
It’s not the way to win a woman’s heart.

Linda-Marie Sweetheart November 14, 2012 at 1:10 AM an emphatic view into this seedy world so well expressed Brittany ..hey thankxx for suggestions on Tarot research luv .. I used to use Coleman deck and Rider Waite but do not dabble into this realm any more .. but fun to know other sources to pursue as at one time I lived and breathed by the Tarot cards ..
