A Woman Who Reads

Post by heinzs » Fri Feb 16, 2007 1:18 pm

And one last one from the wayback machine:

A Woman Who Reads

Her husband caught his limit
returned and moored the boat
an opportunity she took
upon the lake to gently float
and quietly read her book.

The ranger came alongside
accosted her across the bow
"Fishing without permit", he wrote
she closed her book and asked him how –
"The equipment’s all there in the boat."

She raised her brows and looked at him
"I’ll charge you, then, with savage rape!"
"A foul!" he cried, "I’ve laid no hand
upon you!", looking for escape.
"You’ve all the tools..." she took her stand.

The moral of the story pleads
"Don’t mess with a woman who reads."
