MULTITASKING

Michael Edwards

MULTITASKING 

 

It’s said that women can multitask,

and it’s something that men cannot do.

And I must admit I agree with this

and I’ll explain my thinking to you.

 

Women can think and they sure can talk

which they do at the very same time

whereas men, of course, think BEFORE they talk:

the points made so I’ll end my wee rhyme !

 

 

 

Postscript:

The following came to mind after I’d written the poem

above but then I can only do one thing at a time !!

 

After writing this poem a thought comes to mind

and it’s something of which we mustn’t lose sight:

by doing only one thing at a time

at least us men get it right.

    Oh dear Michael, you have really opened a can of worms here. As I have said before, don't think, it is dangerous.

    • Michael Edwards

      A can of worms? Does Aldi sell them? Cheers Andy.

      • Goldfinch60

        I don't know I am just about to see if Morrisons sells them.

        A fine (and true?) write M. lol.

        • Michael Edwards

          True? True? Multitasking is the ability to do two things at once like driving, window shopping and knocking down lamp posts - that's three things by the way. .

          • orchidee

            Ahh, I tried to do two things at once. For example, shopping and breathing. I couldn\'t manage it, so I stopped breathing and just did my shopping. I\'m dead now though. Strange that. Hmmm!

            • Michael Edwards

              If you were dead there was no need to do shopping - so you could have done nothing at the same time. In my next life I am going to be a philosopher - but can you be dead and a philosopher at the same time? So many questions

            • Fay Slimm.

              Oooooooh flack you surely invite with this blight on how and why females are different my friend. Gave me a wry smile to see your addition and now with you I wait to see what take ladies will make on your fun supposition. dear Michael.

              • Michael Edwards

                Thanks Fay - a bit of fun - despite all the hype I really don't think it's a gender related issue but couldn't resist this one - now come on ladies and write your own response in poem form.

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                Thank you Michael ~ but as a DEFENDER of All My Sisters ~ I have to defer. In my experience both at WORK & PLAY ~ GOD gave Eve and all her SISTERS multitaskability ~ NOT ~ because All Men are STUPID & LAZY (only 51% are !) but because while Men daydream of Nigella Lawson in the Kitchen and Paris Hilton in the Boudoir (Rich & Beautiful !) and England winning the World Cup ! The LADIES ~ GET ON WITH THE JOB ! That is why the UK has a QUEEN and THERESA MAN steering the HMS GREAT BRITAIN through troubled waters ! ADAM was a DRAFT ~ EVE is the REAL THING ~ AMEN. Thanks for scaring ~ the MPS LADIES are too gentile to castigate you Mike ~ so I'm doing it on their behalf ~ BRIAN

                • Michael Edwards

                  And a great defender you are Brian but I still regard it as a personality issue rather than being gender related.

                  Now I\'ll really stir it up: Nigella does nothing for me - I\'d rather watch Nadiya Hussain any day, I wouldn\'t know who Paris Hilton is even if she walked in the front door, Theresa May pompous and arrogant with no humility just like Cameron and as for the Queen well I\'m a republican. And England winning the world cup is an irrelevancy. But yes I agree we are blessed with some delightful ladies here on MPS - have I redeemed myself?.

                  In the meantime it's back to the dog house for me.

                  • BRIAN & ANGELA

                    You will have to await he venom form the LADIES for your CASTIGATION ! My only advice to you "Put you brush away and GET OUT MORE ~ You are as MAD as ORCHI & GOLDIE ~ but I still like YOU ~ BRIAN

                    • Michael Edwards

                      Aw shucks

                    • FredPeyer

                      OK, Michael, it IS gender related and here is why:
                      Imagine the brain as being a cupboard with many little drawers. Each drawer stands for something, i.e. husband, kids, car, house, love, mother, father, etc.
                      When men talk they open ONE drawer. They talk about cars, the only drawer that is open is the car drawer. For kids it is the kids drawer, etc.
                      Women on the other hand, open all drawers at the same time.
                      That is why they can do a lot of different things at once, and why we men will never understand them. But if we love them, we don't need to understand them.

                      • Michael Edwards

                        Mmmm - it's bit like saying all blonds are dizzy. Not sure I can understand the difference and I can only speak for myself - I have so many open drawers even as I type this - thanks Fred. Anyway only written as a bit of fun.

                        • FredPeyer

                          That's what it was supposed to be, fun! We use the drawer analogy as a joke. For example, a man asks a woman a simple yes/no one drawer answer, he gets a five minute response, will all the drawers wide open! And you are right, my comment was not PC, have to be more careful in the future! 🙂
                          Have to admit though that as I get older being PC seems to be getting harder and harder. Have less patience and am becoming more outspoken. Don't really know why.

                          • Michael Edwards

                            You're not alone - I think non PC all the time Go - half the trouble is we no longer have the right of free speech for fear of 'offending' someone who wants to play the PC card.

                            OH lol!! That was funny! Thanks for my first smile of the day! Great job!

                            • Michael Edwards

                              Ah thanks Christina - appreciate you taking it as just a bit of fun

                            • WL Schuett

                              Ok pretty funny Michael, stirring the pot

                              • Michael Edwards

                                Stirring the pot whilst writing poetry - now that's what I call multitasking - cheers Bill.

                                They are amazing creatures, indeed ... put us men to shame.

                                • Michael Edwards

                                  They are indeed amazing - thanks Louis.

                                  If we did
                                  We won't be in such a fright
