"How to handle a woman?
There's a way", said the wise old man
"A way known by every woman
Since the whole rigmarole began”
Do I flatter her? I begged, him answer
Do I threaten or cajole or plead?
Do I brood or play the gay romancer?
Said he, smiling, "No indeed”
How to handle a woman?
Mark me well, I will tell you, sir
The way to handle a woman
Is to love her, simply love her
Merely love her, love her, love her"
