Don’t hurry woman, friend

Leonid Rozumenko

Lyric
I want to credit the Creator
For the diversity of plots,
And the woman - leading generator
Of the sporadic random thoughts.

Incredible Lord Byron
Wouldn't play with lady's strength, -
Her eyes could have offense…
And arms could have an iron!

You couldn’t expect this carriage
Cause love is a mighty blind, -
But the humdrum of the marriage
Returns the real sight.

Still, I respect truism
That wife is more than a wife,
Because her realism
Is in response to life.

Don’t hurry woman, friend -
She’s of a computer kind,
When needs to load things
Which hides from eyes and mind.

Someone in your domain asks me to send a letter about myself. My pleasure - favorite topic. Who am I? Can’t keep a secret - athletic, open-minded, and generous, with a wide scope, love for women, good company. With love for science and to write something everlasting, which isn’t computer programming anymore. I was born in gorgeous Kyiv (Ukraine) more than 35 years ago, lived in the USA for longer than 4 years and my language is still in progress. My poetry is also a colorful picture of the unseeing battle between “yours truly” and English grammar. My Ukrainian or Russian accent has two unreliable reasons – it’s “for fun” and “hard to get rid of”. The meaning of my last name “Rozumenko” in Ukrainian is very close to “jaba-jaba a dada” in “Crocodile Dundee II”. I have several other weaknesses but I introduce them only to my closest friends. Yours truly, Leo Rozumenko more…
