"Great Wives"
There is a bold look to her diminutive face
Although she sometimes appears in fine lace
Mood adaptive as a sophisticated lady must be
She is never intimidated, easily confronts me
Evasive ploys are mere toys you need not ply
Perceptively she sees through to the root of it
Playing mind games with her, you'll lose
This crafted broad never takes a mental snooze
Arrogant just to the point of sexy assertiveness
Your mind, an avenue she'll walk openly upon
She's adept, knows how to mentally fondle you
Fascinating, she makes the game exciting to view
Take heed though, before the game begins
Mark her name in the column of wins
Petite, she's much more than neat, she's a treat
But ramp up the competitive juices
Better step aside, this broad you'll not elide
She's here, not just for the ride, too much pride
Often adverse to live with
Always one we wish not to live without
Mark it well, 'tis the way
Great wives turn out
