The Nag

She talks away her life
loudly and gaily coloring
in her secret shadows:
it is a tirade
of bubbling woe
for the listener who
craves only water
and its stillness-
to look upon
and be glad
it is not her face
reflected.

    I know what you're thinking, you evil person :)
    *You can lead a nag to water....and then you can drown her*

    Ws ridwan :)
    At least you never have to worry that this might some day be a self analysis. It can creep up on a woman you know...like a stealthy bower of hips that wasn't there the night before.
    *shudder*

  4. No, just that you can't make them drink.

    And if you try really, really hard to make them drink, then you'll end up drowning them. With the usual excessive amount of paperwork this incurs.
