AuthorMonthly madness 1... "The Opposite Sex"

Posted on Mar 08, 09 at 10:28 AM

Hello all : )

I thought it would be fun if we had a topic each month for everybody to write a poem or poems on. Whoever jumps in first gets to choose the topic for the month, and at the end of each month I will post all of the poems along with pics and links to bio pages on the waffle zone.

Anything goes here, rhyming verse, free verse, silly verse, perverse, just kidding no perverse lol, whatever takes your fancy at the time.

Write as many or as few as you like, all will go on the zone.

Enjoy...

Sounds like fun!!!!  I can't think of a topic off the top of my head, but I'll put my thinking cap on.  If someone else comes up with one first I'll have a go at it :-)

I wonder why it is that women
think the way they do
it could be that their brain in pinched
from tightly wound hairdo

I guess that would explain the way
they stand and tap their feet
when we walk up to get a smooch
but get the ice and sleet

Did you do this did you do that
what is the right reply
do women really want the truth
or do they want a lie

Of course I didn’t mow the lawn
I didn’t rake the leaves
I didn’t fix the gate ‘cause I
was busy hitting tees

I promise that I’ll get to it
I’ll put it on my list
what did you cook for dinner hon
it’s you I sorely missed

The kids are outside playing now
I think we have a minute
why don’t you slip into your robe
I really like you in it

“Put on the brakes” she says to me
"Just stop this love barrage
I’ll wear the robe once I have seen
you’ve cleaned out the garage”

I ask myself quite often
what it is that I’ve done wrong
did I say something thoughtless
give offence with bawdy song

Or was it something other
Something cruel and so unkind
the thing is that I’ll never know
‘cause I can’t read her mind

Now men are of a different sort
you get just what you see
I think the women hate us
‘cause we always stand to pee

That is if we’re not crucified
for having errant aim
for us it’s just another dare
a target practice game

There are some men I have been told
who never get to stand
they sit and mope remembering
that once they were a man

They have been tamed they’re docile now
they follow all the rules
the union that they bought into
has cost the family jewels

But as for me I’ll stand and aim
I am a gutsy soul
I’ll only sit when threatened
‘cause I sometimes miss the bowl

I could rant and rave for hours
venting no end of frustrations
Give a blow by blow description
of most difficult relations

I could spout about the zillion ways
I've found to tune them out
to keep the peace instead of  
riding on that roundabout

I could be rather cynical
in putting forth my views
and pull no punches when it comes
to choice of words I use

It wouldn't be so hard to tell
of every fault and flaw
but that would be unfair of me
and cause for cries of war

So all I'll say right here today
re Martians and Venusians
They don't know any better
it's up to us to find solutions
