A Woman Poem by Audrey Heller

Women, take forever to get dressed. They're
never on time. If they're supposed to be ready
at eight, rest assured, it will be closer to nine.
There's always something, to make them late,
no matter what they do. Even if they get started
early, it can take forever, to get through. The
reason is, they take pride in how they look,
making sure everything's okay. I know it can be
aggravating, but women are geared this way. Just
think of all the things they have to do. Starting with
making up their face, then combing their hair. Now,
comes the hardest part, figuring out what to wear.
When she finally emerges, you look at her and smile.
After all is said and done, wasn't all this waitng,
worthwhile?
