What Men Want

WHAT MEN WANT I went for a walk, tripped and bumped my head, I got up, buttoned my coat, it was freezing cold, Began snowing outside I was told Walking in the mall, in my head, Heard, two men chatting, looking my way She can put her slippers any night or day Under my bed! This I distinctly heard, how absurd! Couldn’t wait to tell my friends at work Wore a smirk On my face as I gathered Emily, Sue and Jane, “ I can read the minds of men” Jane held up her hands, Yes, I said all your fingers intact, all ten, Do you think I’ve gone mad, Yes said Sue, just a tad! Their boss passed and they greeted him, Guess what I said, I am getting a raise Today, they laughed, but my boss Called me in and gave me a raise, I came out of his office with thumbs up, yup, It was confirmed by Mr Blaze! The girls were astounded as I revealed The thoughts of Peter, Sam and Eddie The one I couldn’t repeat belonged to Freddie! Sam had a crush on Jane and Eddie Though Emily was great And Sue, well I told her that Peter was about, To propose which he did, but I had a nagging doubt, That my gift was a temporary measure, So used it as much as I could, what a treasure! The night before, read my husband’s mind That he wanted me to cook Kleftico So before going home I went to find What my husband had in mind. Arrived home put my dainty apron on, And began to cook, chilled the wine And we were ready to dine, Hubby arrived – Mmmm something smells nice, Lifted the lid of the pot in the oven And gave me a kiss and then my overworked Mind heard him say, Kleftico, red wind and if she wore Her sexy black nightie, what a perfect night So I took it out ready to wear But after dinner tripped on a stair, Fell down and bumped my head Hard, there I lay eagle spread On the floor, hubby picked me up And saw my nightie on the bed, How could you read my mind, he said, But the bump on my head, Reversed my gift, really did I, You certainly did, perhaps it’s The bump on your head, he said!
