To Women, As Far As I'm Concerned

The feelings I don't have I don't have.
The feelings I don't have, I won't say I have.
The felings you say you have, you don't have.
The feelings you would like us both to have, we 
 neither of us have.
The feelings people ought to have, they never have.
If people say they've got feelings, you may be pretty
 sure they haven't got them
So if you want either of us to feel anything at all
you'd better abandon all idea of feelings altogether.
