Get Real!

Some people hide it so well!

Lack of sensitivity,

compassion, understanding

and a propensity for

anger, aggression,

rage and the use of profanities

is unbecoming of a woman.

 

Personality disorder dear

is no excuse, and your artistry

does not outweigh the destruction,

or the crushing of 'creatures' barefoot.

But I am a diabolical ironclad beetle

and can't be trampled so easily.

 

Indeed your strap-line says it all!

Some women can be dangerous. I learn to tread easy now. Need to know the madness of the gal. I liked these words. I knew a few wild ones. Thank you John for sharing the entertaining poetry.

Wild indeed but rude ones I can't stand. Thanks Coyote John.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree John and you are welcome.

Get real such a common Aussie term used for disbelief. Yes the poison song by Alice Cooper still is a classic and very descriptive of that female stereotype. Ball breakers are out there that’s for sure lol.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ah, Hi Andrew, hope you are good. Yup ball breakers are out there; many thanks for dropping by.

Just trotting along quite finely, I hope you are well and safe from all this covid. The last time we spoke you were newly married again I think and you were having a break from writerscafe.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Yea my troll returned, David Demers aka KT Little, and cloned my page, sending out stuff to discredit me. Glad to here you are trotting along finely.

the picture of a very destructive downward spiraling relationship ... at some point the healthiest thing to do would be to run says i .. i recall a sermon i listened to once .. what i took and kept with me was this .. marry a missionary and not a mission field .. the scene created makes me think of that .. sadly it is people with caring hearts that can get sucked dry in such a deal .. can't say i understand fully your closing line ... but it has impact just the same ... perhaps another line or two to tie it in would help me .. but that's just me .. there are a lot of things that just roll right on by ... especially from me youngest daughter .. i think she is an alien or something .. :)))))))))))))))))))))

Ah dear 'E' I did run! The person had a strap line on their social media which was not at all becoming of a woman as it was aggressive and challenging. Many thank yous for reading.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh I fear my daughter comes from the same galaxy as yours!

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahahaha ...well ... we do the best we can .. then just love 'em right?! :)

[Einstein Noodle]

ps. ohhhhhhhhh a "strap" line .. now i get it! ... had not heard that expression before .. i am that old :}

Things kept hidden don't harm. When they spill over it can get ugly. Works for males and females alike. Wear boots if there's glass around. That's where I went with these lines. A good very early morning with another lockdown looming.

Yes indeedy Chris. Like everyone I am in a tizzy about Corona Virus and we learn this morning the graphs shown on Saturday were out of date and in fact the truth is that in most areas the graphs are 'flat-lining' as the expert from the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine put it. Many thanks Chris and hope it is drier where you are.

Lovely sunny day here :)

Anger, aggression, rage and the use of profanities is unbecoming of anyone regardless of gender.

What does a strap-line have to do with it? Bra strap? Thong strap?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Agreed. We all lose it at times but there are limits, especially when there is no real reason. A strap line could be to do with an 'over the shoulder boulder holder' (as my ex used to call her bra) but it is the phrase used on somer peoples avatar etc. Many thanks for reading Kari.
