Slapped in the Face with a Kipper
“How much more agreeable it is for two male friends to live
together than for a man and a woman.” ~ St. Augustine
The problem with the saints is that they’re saints,
Ignoring all the hints. They’re working out
A crossword in the moves, the thrusts and feints
Of fencing with their one opponent, doubt,
But their instruction book has given each
False clues about the foes, the facts, the game,
And everything. Then saints presume to teach
The rest of us and specialize in blame.
Well, yes, men chat together with an ease
That can be hard to replicate in talk
With women, chalk trying to think like cheese.
There’s bound to be the occasional balk.
..Men specialize in anger at a rate,
….Though, that propels, them hotly into hate.
The Moral: Don’t buy nasty tasting fish.
