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.
