Shoul we make them wait, or have pity on them hurry?

MEN!
by Barbara Lynn Terry

 

When you are getting ready for a date,
And he is sitting there thinking you're late,
Do you just let him sqirm and wait,
Or are you really done in an hour or so?

Why do men always watch the clock,
and pace the floor like an expectant father,
When they should know we need to look
Our absolute best so we can impress them?

I have always wondered why men are in such a hurry,
When we have the whole evening to have fun.
Is it because they have another date,
That they don't want you to be late?

And what is with the 'it's about time',
Tapping his watch three or four times.
When you come down the stairs,
Looking like a beauty queen?

Men! You can't live with them,
And you definitely can't live without them.
So girls, try as we might to please the male,
We just have to take their whining in stride.

Nice job Barbara. Not all men are like that though. I just happen to have found one who is patience and kindness personified! If I am late, he just says how beautiful I look. A true gem he is.

LOL an honest poem Barbara.I can honestly say that I'm not like some men because I am as patient as a saint and I wouldn't mind if I wait for a woman so that she will look her best.Good things come to those who wait,and if I have a girlfriend then I will wait for anticipation because at the end of the night,I will get that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow ;-).take care
