Women Ain’t Normal

Women are not like me,
is that too direct?
Maybe it’s a guy thing,
I should be more obtuse.

Is that too direct?
Don’t even talk about it,
I should be more obtuse.
Then there’s commitment,

don’t even talk about it,
they don’t use plain English.
Then there’s commitment,
they take it seriously.

They don’t use plain English.
Look at the way they dress,
they take it seriously.
I don’t mind being with them,

look at the way they dress.
I suppose they think I notice.
I don’t mind being with them,
not like it’s a problem.

I suppose they think I notice
women are not like me,
not like it’s a problem.
Maybe it’s a guy thing.

I'm not sure where the narrator is coming from here, but I just hope women don't take him too seriously.

Is this a pantoum? Really excellent job with your repetitions!

Sweet Talker: It is a serious consideration of what is normal.

Linda: A pantoum it is. My other one is 'It Never Ends' in the Aug 06 archive.

It might be a guy thing, but then on the other hand, it might be a guy thing. Nice work - good read!
