Woman Is Cleverer Than Man

Her future is in his hand;
Her figure is in his mind.
He wants her: body and soul.
She hates him: body and soul.

She must neither reject him
Nor encourage him in love.
She must tread a rope with care
And come out without a scratch.

To hate him will anger him
Or turn him away from her.
To pretend passion to him
Will make her docile to thim.

She would pretend affection
While resisting his move still.
She'd make long enough his hope
That getting her is possible.

Thus man is fooled by woman
Whom he loves from position.
Thus man is fooled by woman
Whom he belives to be true.
