Somebody please tell me
What makes a woman think
That she can catch a man
With a mischievous smile and a teasing wink
With pretty words loaded with hidden and double meaning
By useless posturing and vain preening?

Sadly, I've known a few who fit this saccharine description
And, I've tried to convince them to change this ineffective prescription
But they remain steadfast, thinking they've got just the right 1-2 combination
To knock out, bowl over, and gain submission to their domination....

She'll think she's so slick
Like she can have her pick
Of any man she should so choose
But, eventually, her sly games only make her lose
And then wonder where she went wrong
Like a QB throwing short when he should've gone long
She'll think she's gaining & maintaining yards w/each executed play
As if she'll win in the end by being fake, fickle, and fey.

She'll coyly play so hard to get
Thinking his whistle she'll wet
Hoping to snare him in her "I'll get him yet" net
By using the thrust & parry of feminine wile
Never imagining he'd see thru her affectations and guile
She'll push with one hand and pull with the next
Her weak, childish taunts are an open text

And when he grows tired of the same ole song and dance
He'll decide the time to exit w/o a backward glance
So, when the hourglass runs empty, trickling out of sand
She's left so bewildered never realizing: SHE OVER-PLAYED HER HAND.
 
wit dat said i have no clue
but let me say and tell you
some pose dat smile and pop dat wink
but before them it's gone in a blink
i don't know why i can't lie

I don't know sis why , I have no clue
but you laid it out here so tell da truth .
