I was sent this poem by Red Dirt Girl, I suspect all men know the truth of the words herein, and all women fail to understand them.
Poem
If the night flights keep you awake
I will call London Airport and tell them
to land their dangerous junk elsewhere.
And if you fall asleep with the sleeve
of my jacket under your head,
sooner than wake you, I'll cut it off.
But if you say:
'Fix me a plug on this mixer',
I grumble and take my time.
~ by Christopher Logue
I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.
XXXXXXX!!!
