Fickle ,thy name is woman!!!


Have never understood Shakespeare better...had never really felt the depth of Hamlet's anguish!!
Does caprice adorn the female brow alone or is it the human soul which is malignant??
Is a man capable of what a woman is? Or does the woman alone don the garb of irresolution with much tenacity ,such that she deserves the disgrace??
Does the dainty countenance belie the traitor ,back-stabber beneath it??
Yea...folly is human nature but does the woman ace it??

I for one can spend hours rummaging through the typified "he-said-she-said" nonsense which have accumulated from irrelevant,unimportant incidents .And then go onto exhibit the rightly presumptuous girl behavior--hashing,rehashing "what could have been said, how it could have been said".Gross unjust wastage of time,innit?? Nah!! not to a woman..have had the fortune of knowing scores who go through d dilemma daily.
And then there is the legendary temperament which is an attribute of the living but what leaves you flummoxed are the "Y's" which accompany audacious women-on-women behavior.
Yeah,yeah..go ahead make your life easier and blame it on PMS.
Though being a part of the clan for the past 26yrs now should have taught me better than to get zapped.And why would you concur is she more benignly evil, more oxymoronic...more jealous and more Woman...(pun intended)!! As they say she always has her revenge ready!
All the ruminations have reminded me of a poem i once recited not utterly aware of its claim but still admiring Kipling's work:

"Unprovoked and awful charges—even so the she-bear fights,
Speech that drips, corrodes, and poisons—even so the cobra bites,
Scientific vivisection of one nerve till it is raw
And the victim writhes in anguish—like the Jesuit with the squaw!

And Man knows it! Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him
Must command but may not govern—shall enthral but not enslave him.
And She knows, because She warns him, and Her instincts never fail,
That the Female of Her Species is more deadly than the Male."

The female of the species is more deadly than the male!!!
