The Dominant Woman.

by Gordon Whittaker   Aug 5, 2006


You can count on me to hold my tongue
I will never ever do you wrong.

No-one can ever call me a liar,
No-one can say I\'ve dragged their name through the mire.

I can never be accused of slander or libel,
I could never ever swear on the bible

You could reveal your innermost secrets to me,
knowing that forever and a day,
your secrets are with me to stay.

But my partner she is very different you see,
she enjoys manipulating me.

She loves the acclaim the adulation,
the correct verbal pronunciation.

I have no life I\'m shoved away when not needed.
I am like so many of her other things.

She\'s the one who pulls the strings.

What the hell, you may shout
what on earth is this poem about

My partner is a ventriloquist
she has complete control over me.
For I am the dummy that sits on her knee.

    OMg where to start with my thoughts on this poem!? For one, there are times I do stick up for men because a lot of time people think "its always the mans fault that couples split up" But this poem shows wrong...woman can cause divorces and break ups just as easily as men..and this is coming from a woman

    Secondly, I'm so sorry to hear about this if its true...There is no reason for a man or a woman to feel this way and be treated this why by a what we call "loved one"

    And thirdly, that ending statement just blew me away...what a fantastic sentence to end with!!!
