Sheeeeee's Back ... ATWOODing Once Again

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Cleverness is a quality
a man likes to have
in his wife
as long as she is
some distance away
from him.

Why is it that
really beautiful pepole
think everyone else
in the world 
exists merely
for their amusement?

***

One of his great secrets as a persuader: 
he could convince another person
that the two of them together 
faced a common obstacle,
and they needed to join forces
in order to overcome it.
 
He could draw almost any listener
into a collaboration,
a little conspiracy
of his own making.
Nobody could do this better than he
...
And he had a wonderful voice as well,
deep and sonorous.
So of course I did
as he asked.
