It is true, some men are not nice, far from it. But the same is said of women. And so, I just want to jump up and express my support . . . how?With really bad poetry that was a lot of fun to write  


Men

Some say Women are from Venus
And Men are from Mars
I say . . .
Go Martians.

I love men.
Tall, short, lean, not so lean
It don’t matter to me
Men are meant to be men
And that’s what I like about ‘em

Strong, hearty, tough
Tender, kind, considerate
Heart of a warrior
Soul of a poet

And yes, sometimes pig-headed
But then again, aren’t we all?

Yes, you’ve got your bad apples
And often they don’t fall far from the tree
But there is the pick of the crop too
And often the crop is full of bounty

Ah, yes, Men
I am blessed with a full harvest
From a fab Dad
To five fantabulous brothers
A husband-- my lover
Friends a plenty
And one terrific teacher who is unlike any other

And without men
How then could we be women?

Ah yes, Men
I love men

s.a.t.

lol.  me too.  I don't think they get enough credit sometimes.  

I remember my grandma fiercly defending men, that they should be allowed to be men - not jerks - rather men

(she was the mama of four boys)

Does your husband know about your lover?!?

This was a fun read ~ so it couldn't be "bad" poetry!

Yeppers! "Go Martians"!!!

With love from a fellow ( or is that "fella"?!?) Venusian!

Oh snowy one, no I don't think either get enough credit.  That's why we who believe in the goodness of both sexes must make our case--

P.S.  Happy to have you on board.

Careful Susan,

The battle of the sexes might end if all of
us (men and women)  (Martians and Venutians)
thought alike or appreciated each other as
well as you have said it all...

I am happy you have such peace in your life
with the opposite sex that is truly sometimes
quite pigheaded.....

Dear friends, you are all most kind.  It is still a case of bad poetry, but I was kinda' going for the feel good message, and it seems it worked, so thanks for hearing it.

Hugs all -- Susan

Ah, but Kaile, it is true.  My dearest friend and mentor, my MA instructor is a blackbelt in Modern Arnis, a master instructor in Bowie and big blade combat, a master firearms instructor as well as an ex- cop and he writes poetry.  He has a most beautiful soul.  So you see, it is not too much.  But one or the other is fine too.
