‘tuk para lelaki

(It is
a clue about woman, so take smart look boys! ^-^)

Call
a woman a kitten, but never a cat;

You
can call her a mouse, cannot call her a rat;

Call
a woman a chicken, but never a hen;

Or
you surely will not be her caller again.

You
can call her a duck, cannot call her a goose;

You
can call her a deer, but never a moose;

You
can call her a lamb, but never a sheep;

Economic
she likes, but you can’t call her cheap.

You
can say she’s a vision, can’t say she’s a sight;

And
no woman is skinny, she’s slender and slight;

If
she should burn you up, say she sets you afire;

And
you’ll always be welcome, you tricky old liar.

(A poem
entitled “semantics” by John E. Donovan, in the Saturday Evening
Post,July
13, 1946 as cited in Mccrimmon’s)
