The Lid

"Keep a lid on it." So goes the saying. "Don't leave the lid up!" Another saying. Usually said with more gusto. The ongoing male-female war. As St. Paul said in Romans 7 -- I know what I should do, but I don't do it.

Men can't ask for directions or remember to put the lid down. Change is hard. Chains are hard too. They work. Sometimes you have to take strong measures.

What goes up must come down. Or should come down. But if it doesn't even go up, well, there's going to be a mess. Sometimes the solution is worse than the problem.

I have another comment, but I've been told to keep a lid on it.
