Girls are from Venus, Boys are from Mars
Kathleen here,
Each week our Writers' Group picks out of a hat a subject for the week. This particular subject was: "Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars." The following is what I wrote. This was an observation of my grandnephew Jake and grandniece Jaylin, as they played together.
Girls are from Venus, Boys are from Mars
Only one year old, my grand nephew is
His innate soul guides what he knows is his
He gathers toy blocks with his plump little hand
And heads for the toy box where inside the blocks land
Three or four of them fly into the deep toy box
Landing here and there as if outside with some rocks
His little cousin, a girl, by the way
Gathers blocks in her apron making sure that they stay
She walks over to Jake’s toy box with lady like poise
Daintily one by one places the blocks inside with no noise
So young and so innocent these toddlers play
Jake throws and Jaylin places the blocks each their own way
We wonder why she is like Venus and he is like Mars
Smart folks with great learning look toward all the stars
But really now folks I will look too, and then nod
The answer is simple the odds favor-it was God
