What Women Fear
written by: Warren Alexander
The main reason why women hate the Three Stooges is
Men are one poke in the eye from being an idiot
No matter the level of education
No matter how successful or not
No matter what they have seen
No matter what they have done
No matter the sense of self or humor
Men are one poke in the eye from being an idiot
There is probably some primordial basis for this
Probably the first Neanderthal comedy skit had it
Didn’t your mother say
You’re going to poke your eye out with that thing
That mattered little
TV turned dismay into camaraderie
And there is no cure, no warning will suffice
I know, I have been a pubescent boy now for almost seven decades
One poke in the eye
