asks us to consider 'captivating.'

EYE-CATCHING

Why are large eyes captivating

When it comes to human mating?

There's no possible doubt at all

That the girl above could hold in thrall

The majority of healthy males

For it's an equation that never fails.

'Big blue eyes equal sexuality';

That is a very clear reality.

Why should this be? That was my query;

And I heard this fascinating theory......

When a baby's born and we're in charge

It's  eyes are enormously round and large;

Out of proportion it's been said,

To it's almost normal head.

We gaze at those eyes and, more or less,

We feel a rush of tenderness.

We long to cradle and to care for

The baby, and that's what we're there for.

Fathers feel this as well as mothers,

Aunts and cousins, all the others.

And this sudden rush of love

(For that is what we're speaking of)

Is carried over to adult life.

So, when a man looks for a wife,

Or something lower down the scale,

Enormous eyes just cannot fail

To trigger an impulse to adore,

Care for, worship and much more.

That's why big eyes are captivating

When it comes to human mating.

BLONDE BOMBSHELLS

They said 'Try going blonde'

When I was feeling down.

'Blondes' they said have much more fun

Than girls whose hair is brown'.

So I grabbed at the peroxide

And gave my hair a dose.

It wasn't the colour of ripened corn

But it was pretty close!

And lo and behold! I met him!

The one love of my life!

He, too, had hit the bottle

And now I am his wife!

We have a brown-haired daughter

And a little brown-haired son,

But when it's just the two of us

Boy! Do we have fun!
