Got A Big Mouthed Woman

Beyond any relativity theory, and for no apparent reason at all, I was looking at my hubby tonight and was reminded of Stevie Smith's poem I first read in 1991, never forgot but never remembered to write about. Until tonight.

Beware the man whose mouth is small;
For he'll give nothing and take all.

I just looked at my hubby again. Uh... he does have a rather small mouth. I shouldn't say I had not been warned, eh? But hey, for all we know, Stevie Smith was probably not saying the opposite. Not saying the obvious!

Well, Enida would say:

Beware the woman whose mouth is big;
For when she gets none, oh she'll dig.

Postlude:
I know you are reminded of that catchy old Santana's song 'Black Magic Woman' now, aren't ya?
