A man should know how to please,
Exactly when to say “ Please !”
He must know when to seize,
And when to ignore, “ No, please !”
When to turn a deaf ear,
And to look the other way,
To pull a chair, open a door
And yield the right of way.
To look interested and keen
To avoid yawning, and mean
What he says, and be able to say
What he may not always mean !
To look through other women
When he is with her,
And not scowl at other men
When they flirt with her.
To lend a shoulder to lean on
And at times for her to cry on
Find always the right word,
And generally be spot on.
To hear when nothing is said
To hear nothing even if shouted.
Be ready with pick-up lines,
And also to read ‘tween lines.
Be ready to forgive n forget
But NOT those special days,
Else it’d be real hard to get
Peace for the rest of his days!
And be on guard to defend.
To be sure never to offend;
To attend, to tend, to pretend
And to yet remain sane, Amen !

Aw, those women !
