Although you were certainly being brave in choosing this subject Herbert - - - - I have not stopped giggling yet at all the punches you masterfully pulled out of the bag to answer the topic put in your first line - - - - a terrific read...... and I as a female have to watch my step eh?

Nice work Herbert! I love the first line...'A wise man said a woman's scorn is given to her when she's born.' Having three sisters and being the eldest, i have been through the conditioning process...LOL. LSP

I also enjoyed this poem Herbert. I think many women find ourselves using this 'weapon' without thinking.....a little trigger happy. It's wonderful how you bring to light topics that are just 'human' topics that we can all relate to. Great job. Sincerely, Mary

It's good to find substance behind words, moreover when presented in a tone that suites it so well. I enjoyed a lot, both the ideas, and the humor. thanks! Maty.
