Of Chocolates
-- by J. Scott Hardin
There are many theories
On the nature of women,
But the closest I ever come
To an understanding of them
Is in my love of chocolates.
Of Chocolates – extended version
-- by J. Scott Hardin
There are about as many theories
On the nature of women
As there are men who have walked the earth:
Some say “settle her down” – but we know who runs the house;
Some say “be sensitive” – but we know nice guys finish last;
Some say “remain aloof” – but we know who sleeps alone.
The closest I ever come
To an understanding of women
Is in my love of chocolates.
