...............What Women Know Poem by elysabeth faslund

This morning, while buying Wal Mart, on the way to work...a few things became SO clear to me, walking the aisles....

Clothes....
What self-respecting woman will have her car tuned-up,
...when new Fall clothes are more important?
After all, she'll be the best dressed woman,
...broke down on the side of the road.

Make-up...
I don't care if I have one eyelash left,
...I WILL get that tube of mascara!
I WILL get 2 tubes of that color lipstick,
...and throw them away when a new color arrives.

More make-up...
If a man comments on heavy-handed blusher,
...part of his anatomy goes on a kabob stick.
If a woman comments on the same item,
...'Oh Hon! Show me in the ladies room! '

Wrinkles...
If a man says those lines are really not that noticeable,
...which part of his anatomy kabobed this time?
If a woman comments the same,
...'Oh Hon! Know a good Dermatologist? '

Cars...
A woman notices 'noises' costing $5 to fix.
...by the time she's believed, it's $500 out his pocket.
Why would a woman buy 10w30 motor oil,
...when 20w50 is way cheaper?

Driving speed...
A woman drives like the Indy pace car,
...until she sees it isn't a cop in front of her,
...then, it's back to 'green flag' racing.
'But, officer, I was blowing the carbon out! '

You know it's true! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! All of it!
