Patti Masterman - Just a Minute

It is said that man
Gives half his heart away;
While woman merely saves one part-
For a rainy day.

It is said that woman and man
Can rarely play together;
That one will always leave, in snits,
Has naught to do with weather.

Ones from Venus, ones from Mars,
So they weren't reared the same;
And girls think men are too obtuse-
And men think they're inane.

I think the world's a nicer place
That it has both them in it
(But if you think you know her mind,
Well just wait one more minute-)
