I'm looking for a hard headed woman
One who will make me do my best
And if I find my hard headed woman
I know the rest of my life will be blessed*
The other day I popped round to see an acquaintance of mine, the one who now has someone to share his mess with.
As I have foreseen, it is an issue; I mean the mess, not the woman (or actually...).
Sitting next to his TV, I noticed that some of the thick layer of dirt and bits of pizza on the screen were strangely missing. The cleared areas formed a question: "When will you change your life?".
And even though the rude question wasn't for me (I hope), it did send shivers down my spine; and then up; and then down again - until finally they stopped somehwere in the middle, stayed there for a long, awkward while, before getting dispersed in a few unindentified - as yet - directions.
"Young man," I thought meaning the young man, "you can count on my full moral support, but don't count on me! I don't want to be anywhere near you two now - the situation's higly explosive!"
(I recalled just then that he had actually mentioned the question to me, but misquoted it as :"When will you change your life style?", which could mean that she merely liked or tolerated him, so I forgot about it.)
"Young man," I sustained the thought meaning young men, "you'd better enjoy your mess and your life - if it's not one and the same thing - before she lays her tender hands on you; I mean all over you.
And she means business."
PS Then it struck me: for the time being she's been a positive factor in his life, from my perspective - now I trip less when walking around his place and, for a change, I'm able see a bit of The Voice of Poland on his TV, rather than just hear it.
*blessed - again...
