How to Handle a Woman

"How to handle a woman?

There's a way", said the wise old man

"A way known by every woman

Since the whole rigmarole began”

Do I flatter her? I begged, him answer

Do I threaten or cajole or plead?

Do I brood or play the gay romancer?

Said he, smiling, "No indeed”

‽How to handle a woman?

Mark me well, I will tell you, sir

The way to handle a woman

Is to love her, simply love her

Merely love her, love her, love her"
