Mind of Man

A joke that's stuck in my memory
Is about a mom warning her to-be-married chickie.
That men are after only one thing and I quote
"They all want control of the remote"
Now I completely fail to see
What is so perenially absorbing on TV
For men do not watch one program
Continuous channel surfing is their master plan.
A wise woman in her book did relate
That back to prehistoric times,this does date
Apparently,when the hunter-gatherers were tired
They amused themselves with the flickering of the fire.

Now the female mind is a complex thing
Many a Samson to his knees,it does bring.
For though machines may be their cup of tea
When it comes to a woman,they're usually at sea.
Now all women say that they can't understand men
So what does that say about the male mind then?
But a conversation with a friend(Thank you,Bharat) I now recall
He said'"What makes you think we have a mind at all?"
Now that was a possibility I hadn't envisaged,I confess
That on the mental marksheet,men score a teeny bit less.

But I have my own theory about this,y'know
I think it's testosterone which doesn't allow a man to grow
Beyond adolescence...for if you see
The two sexes are the same till puberty.
But while oestrogen makes a woman like fine wine ie mature
Testosterone has the opposite effect for sure.
It's supposed to give the man the drive to hunt
But it reduces their communication to a series of grunts.
But the irony of my theory,maybe a woman is God
It's that very same testosterone which makes a man bald.
But that ties in too.Oh this feels so good.
For that alopecia is the harbinger of a second childhood!
Liff As I Know It!
