The Man is Right

by Franco Bertucci

Few of them know how beautiful they are.
They know their attractiveness,
or their unattractiveness,
but they don't know how beautiful they are.
If they did, they would never curse
or do things like run for senate.
(Not that those two go together.)

Someone out there knows what I am saying.
A woman is too good for either,
good as she may be at both,
bad as the mess may be
that the men are making.
