Our Geography

My Pal, Judy Maurer, bumped into this ditty somewhere out on the web. Most of the kind of silliness that we forward to each other exists in the realm of the innane--but for some reason, I liked this one.

GEOGRAPHY OF A WOMAN

Between 18 and 22,
a woman is like Africa :
half discovered,
half wild,
fertile and naturally beautiful.

Between 23 and 30,
a woman is like Europe :
well developed and open to trade,
especially for someone of real value.

Between 31 and 35,
a woman is like Spain :
very hot, relaxed,
and convinced of her own beauty.

Between 36 and 40,
a woman is like Greece :
gently aging but still
a warm and desirable place to visit.

Between 41 and 50,
a woman is like Great Britain :
with a glorious and all conquering past.

Between 51 and 60,
a woman is like Israel :
has been through war,
doesn't make the same mistakes twice,
takes care of business.

Between 61 and 70,
a woman is like Canada :
self-preserving,
but open to meeting new people.

After 70, she becomes Tibet :
wildly beautiful,
with a mysterious past
and the wisdom of the ages,
an adventurous spirit
and a thirst for spiritual knowledge.

GEOGRAPHY OF A MAN

Between 1 and 90,
a man is like Iran ,
ruled by nuts.
