With apologies to Borges

Women are divided into:

1. those who belong to the king,
2. embalmed ones,
3. those who are trained,
4. suckling pigs,
5. mermaids,
6. fabulous ones,
7. stray ones,
8. those included in this classification,
9. those who tremble as if they were mad,
10. innumerable ones,
11. those retouched in Photoshop,
12. others,
13. those who have just broken an iPod,
14. those who from a long way off look like my wife.
