FACES AND FEET--a decastitch

FACES AND FEET


Women have many faces,
One for each occasion.
Which face to show and when is
A source of confusion.

For men it is easier:
Put the best foot forward.
Choosing one of the two feet
Is not a big hazard.

Women, you are multi-faced,
Your minds must be multi-paced!
