Click here to hear the poet read his words:
women are crazy
a wise man once told me
that all women are crazy
and when I raised an eyebrow
he shrugged and said
you’ll see
a friend says
that ladies are different
from us mere men
and when I reply
vive la différence
he grins and says
you’ll see
now I’m not smart enough
to judge
whether either
or even both
of these statements
are true
but I had a mother
and a wife
I have a daughter
female friends
and the occasional romantic attachment
so I have loved
a few of the fairer sex
but never yet met one
I understood
Perhaps then love is just our imagined understanding of each other. This made me smile. Nice wee meander of thoughts.

Or maybe our imagined misunderstanding, Lindsey?
I do enjoy a wee meander on occasion…

…and it all goes to prove what women say about men:
‘They’re different, they just don’t get it.’
‘We need to make allowances for them.’
Your delightfully bewildered poem made me smile.
Love it.
