Because if too much silence, then this amazing ironical poem full of cynical notes was born. So true. Man must not abuse his life partner, IF still so, then such things as in this poem can happen. Be alerted, man! This woman is smarter than you think., hey man! A most deserving Modern Poem Of The Day! CONGRATULATIONS on being chosen as TMPOTD. Hurray for Ali! A 10 Full Score and myriad of 10´s more. God´s Blessings.
