Male Dilemma

Approaching now with trepidation
Heart thumping anticipation
Brow soaked in perspiration
Throat tightening asphyxiation.

Echoed voices, feeling fearful
Clouded mind now in freefall
Transfixed eyes becoming tearful
How can she be quite so cheerful?

Just in there! She softly motions
Brain is racing with emotions
Scented whiff from bottled lotions
Perfumed aroma drifts from potions.

Trembling hands begin to reach
Wishing I was at the beach
Sacred law, I’m about to breach
Remembering, what Dad did preach

I can’t do it, collapse in beanbag
Feeling like a rung out dishrag
To all you men, keep reading a mag
Never, delve into a woman’s handbag.

Good advice, could be anything in there, even a mousetrap.
Secret women's business.

she's a bit one sided don't you think fellas

how many time have you blokes heard give me your wallet love so she can borrow a quid
(often for keeps )

bill the old battler

Bill - were you never taught in a marriage that 'What's your's is mine and what's mine's me own'

Thought that was the way they all went - I could be wrong - been known to be wrong before

Cheers

Maureen

maureen the rest of that statement is you married me for better or for worse
now she gets the better and I get what's left

also marrage is both deaf and dumb ( she's not deaf and I'd better be dumb)

Just don't go there Dave; don't do it! Very funny.

Heather

Or my wife's view of any topic of disagreement....

"It's not often you're right, but this time you're wrong!"

Cheers, will.

I can relate to that Will, mine once said to me 'I thought you were right once, but I was mistaken'

Awwww!!..thanks love.

G/day David,
You had me going there for awhile, it's good to write some lighthearted ones occasionally, good Stuff mate.

Cheers Terry

PS I'm so flat out at the moment I can't find time to read all the post (by the way 41.1 at home to-day, computer rooms like an oven)

Mate I’ve just come across this one don’t know where I’ve been (bet she does) Good yarn and true
Leonie’s right secret women’s business, you had me in a sweat for a minute. But I gotta tell ya in our house I’m THE BOSS SO DON’T TELL ME HOW THE DISHES SHOULD BE DONE.
