Men!

Why do men always talk as if they know?

Ok, I am as guilty as the rest

But listening is terrifying when

A man sets forth ideas, which, at best,

Are cobbled from dubious web-site or,

Worse still, procured from Twitter or Facebook,

Then pontificated as the Truth,

Regardless of his partner's dubious look.

Why do we do it? Why do we go on

As if we know it all, when truth to tell,

We've not a clue and this is just hot air

To justify ourselves while our head's swell?

You know the truth, and smile behind your hand,

At all men who think they understand.
