SUNDAY SCRIBBLINGS
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!
