Hmmm... apparently, that hole you're digging for yourself (thinking of yesterday's "woman" poem) isn't quite deep enough? Ahem... let me get my shovel! Ha! Your cheekiness is showing! LOL katy xox.

I think this is why they're called soul mates. We will wait, and continue to wait. Thanks for another good one.

Starting to think I need to reread the rules about how to treat a man. I am never late...........I am the one that shows up early :-) Wonderful write..........but I think Sue Sparks might be right, if I was your woman and saw your poem last night.......well I might be late too :-)

Or maybe she read your poem last night, "Which One Is Female" and decided to retaliate!

Late...but never withiut showing. What is that phrase....hmmmmm
"Better late than never!"
She's called.....said to tell you...she's on her way.
Funny and pensive write today!

A good write, Ed!
Of all the little irritants in life that add years to our age,
I suspect "waiting for someone in vain," tops the list.
LOL at Lanechanger's comment...

In my extensive research, I have found that females, of any species, operate on a totally different 'time spectrum' than we males do.

Case In Point: When we need to be somewhere at 3 PM, I shamelessly lie and tell my lovely spouse our appointment is at 1 PM. She shows up inevitably at 2:30, extremely proud of the fact that she is only 'slightly late' ( a mini-second in her time spectrum; 1.5 hours in mine). And me, I am thankful that if I speed like hell, we can still get there by 3.
