Sometimes

Sometimes you ask me a question
When you already have the answer,

Sometimes you speak volumes
About matters you barely know,

Sometimes you ask for my opinion
Having presumed a judgment,

At times like these I listen, but never utter a word
And you respond in kind with a stern look.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/17/2018 3:41:00 PM I really really like how you did this one. VERY in tune with "how it works" between women and certain types of men who have not learned well the art of true communication. ( I suppose the bad one could be the woman, but I think it's been proven women are better at communication than men are generally speaking) Login to Reply Vijay Pandit Date: 1/17/2018 4:05:00 PM Thank you Andrea..appreciate your thoughts and sentiments.
