An angel in truth, a demon in fiction,
A woman's the greatest of all contradiction,
She's afraid of a beetle, she'll scream at a mouse
But she'll tackle a husband as big as a house,
She'll split his head open, then act as his nurse,
And when he is well and can get out of bed,
She'll pick up a teapot and throw at his head.
She's crafty, she's simple, she's cruel, she's kind,
She's artful, kind-hearted, keen-sighted and blind,
She will lift up a man, she will let him down,
She'll crown him her king, then make him her clown.
You think she is this, but find she is that,
For she will play like a kitten and bite like a cat,
And you're always expecting she will, but she don't,
In the evening she will, in the morning she won't.
Andrew is very correct in his thinking. It seems women, where ever they come from, are quite similar in these respects. I too have written a poem on similar lines by the caption Matchless She. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to hear that Andrew is no longer with us. Andrew must have experienced a lot during his lifetime. It is good that someone is publishing his poems for all to read, learn from and enjoy. His thoughts on woman are insightful and humorous. I imagine a woman could write something very similar about us men.
