Why Women, Why
Robert Hawkins
Through observation.
I can only conclude women.
Are natural artists.
To put make-up on day to day.
Though a few look like they use a jackhammer.
To blend their natural flush.
To enhance.
What's already there.
Oohh baby.
That's when you look good.
But to remove your eyebrows,
Only to draw them back in.
With a crayon.
You know what it's like for a man.
To kiss you.
Snuzzle on you.
Reach your eyebrows.
Only to get a mouth full of ink?
Even I today I'm amazed.
Some girls wear so much make-up.
They have to know.
Their make-up is made from,
Pure corrision or rust if need be.
Iron oxides, titanium oxides.
And in a hundered of forms.
So girls can have rusty faces.
A little petrolatum and titanium.
A pretty red lipstick.
Well, it ain't guys. Breathing all those fumes.
Christ, don't tell me you use.
Spray on deodorant and hair spray.
God girls.
Give yourselves a chance.
You got to live too.
If I can live without make-up.
So can you.
And let the eyebrows grow.
They look sexy on you.
You find if you use things
Logically.
Men.
Will love all the more and the same.

note;
You think women are angels, saints.
Be sure you take your Thorizine.
