Know Wax

I was forwarded a poem once called "A Woman Should Have". The poem was attributed to Maya Angelou, but is actually the work of Pam Satran. You can check out the poem here if you'd like see the basis of the rant. http://www.robinsweb.com/inspiration/pamela_redmond_satran.html

The author is irrelevant, but the rant is not. Here's my version of what everyone woman should have and know.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE…..
Enough pride to take care of herself
And enough confidence not to care about how others think she looks.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE…..
No thoughts about asking her significant other if she looks good in those pants
Because most likley she already knows the answer.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE…..
No problem at all cooking for her mate
Why the hell wouldn’t you want to do something nice for someone you love?

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE….
Enough sense to know that her toughest critics are not men,
But other women.

A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW….
That sometimes a man doesn’t want to romance her,
He just wants sex
Why is that wrong?

A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW….
That it’s just as easy to put the toilet seat up for a man
As it is for him to put it down for a woman.

A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW….
That a man has no idea what you are thinking,
That it’s okay to tell him exactly what you want
That we are just not smart enough to do it on our own.

A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW….
That just because you have something to say, it does not necessarily mean it is more critical than what’s on the TV

A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW….
That just like they want to be romanced, a man never wants to lose that seductive, exotic, exciting, and adventurous girlfriend you once were.

A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW….
That the completely imperfect, slightly overweight, unemotional, unromantic, thoughtless idiot you are with
Is right now being looked at by another woman as the perfect man you once thought he was.

A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW….
That it’s okay to be a woman
That is okay to be vulnerable and need a man’s help
That it is okay to have no clue how to use power tools
That it’s okay to lose yourself because love is completely unselfish
That it’s okay to use paper plates.
That grilled cheese is just as good as Filet Mignon as long as it’s with you
That guys couldn’t give a damn about the length of your calves so long as they don’t turn into cankles
That men also know when to WALK AWAY and it’s generally when their mate starts looking to poems for life advice.

If you live a life without wax, you can never go wrong.
