WOMEN (AS THE SAYING GOES)
I like women.
Women are interesting.
They really are.
Even though most of them could take or leave sports.
Still women are -- who they are.
Men, however, they're the guys!
Oh, give me some men who are stout-hearted men,
who will fight for the rights they adore.
Men are not women.
Men are more like manly types,
Most of them anyway.
Men are tough and they like to fight.
And men are not averse to killing if necessary.
I mean like if God needs a killing done (or a President, or a charismatic
leader or whoever) then call on a man.
Men know what matters.
What do women know.
I don't know.
I'm not a woman.
Still, I like women.
Women are interesting.
They seem to be engineered for my wanting them.
They seem to be everything I've ever wanted and am willing to sacrifice
everything for.
For a while.
Then it's back to business.
Which is what men are for.
God is in his heaven
and all is right with the world.
Happy New Tear,
Mike Geary
