Six Stanzas of Separation

I'm not real sure of all the reasoning
or if a man can even be close,
to begin to even slightly understand
where men and women oppose.

We could be such stellar allies
although it would be unlikely, at best;
if someone else could be more suscinct
in defining then, by all means be my guest!

Firstly, there's how differently we think
all that left-brain/right-brain crap;
I'd have a more concise handle on things
if there was an Android downloadable app!

But, there's kind of an invisible catalyst
setting men and women apart,
men use logic from one side of our brains
where women clearly, think from the heart!

But, that's not to announce any preferrence
felt for either of these fascinating sides;
not being able to pinpoint the answer
is where what separates them truly hides.

I've concluded that there's but one true way
of discerning between these genders, two;
quite simply women know, and have the upper hand
while us poor men don't even have a clue!

A total mystery as to why we are the hunter gatherers, probably something to do with being able to hold a child inside for nine months and being able to think in areas we don't understand lol.
Loved your write I expect a lot of the readers didn't get to the end ??? the answer maybe in that it was the last Stanza that put the record straight, Yours Ian.T
I found that to use both sides of the brain causes an inner conflict where there are no winners.....
