A Brief Instruction on Keeping a Man

If you cling to the fancy of keeping a man,

You must follow these tactics as close as you can.

Every day you should wash and brush up your hair

And treat him with Love and Ultimate Care.

Never forget to kiss him and touch,

Feed him till he's full up, but not overmuch.

And don't you scold him or call him so wicked

For childish addiction to hockey or cricket,

And don't you dare to mention the names

Of his former wives or his old flames.

So let him discover, and let him explore,

Praise his smallest achievements

and don't call him a bore.

And, bearing in mind the things that I've said,

NEVER wash off your makeup when going to bed.

Keep often repeating he's handsome and bright,

And never forget to kiss him good night.
