                                           Wants

what do women WANT?

gaa'damm!

--touchables, embraceables, wearables, eatables

it's not enough to sing and dance

                    y'gotta wine and dine

--a woman wants a man to have

                    a fine apartment

                    a nice car

                    all his teeth

                    a job

                    an olympic tongue

                               --clothes!

what do we want, us others, us not quite supernumeraries?

--one two three now, in unison:

                     a

                     perceptive

                     attractive

                     supportive

                               woman.
