ALL BUT A WHIM

ALL BUT A WHIM 20 mar 2006

What are women's words, but a ruse?

They never tell the truth, not even when

They speak to themselves, and then

Pretend justify their giving, their refuse.

What are women's words, but a wily?

A trap for themselves, momentary,

A-fleeting reasoning, commentary

On what just happened, all the while

They acted first, taken by impulse,

For reasons other than their brains abide

And then tried to explain the where, the why

Their hearts beat to a sudden pulse,

So harshly prudence was set aside

And thus love was killed, no more to come by.
