this was written rather tongue in cheek as a reply to Doreen's poem 2X2........(no offense LJA I swear!)


ok so if all men are not pigs
then why do they leave
all their stuff all over the floor?
why do they like to grovel
around in the mud playing football?
why do men eat like there's no tomorrow
and the groceries are long overdue?

well if all men are not pigs
who forgot to close the gate
on opening day of deer season?
cuz all my pigs got out and ran away
coming back just in time for their swill
and then off again, to run wild

if they're not pigs (all of 'em)
will someone please show me
one who shuts the lid on the toilet
so I don't get an unexpected bidet
at 2 am in the morning
could you point him out please?

and lastly, if they're not all pigs
prove it to me, by bringing me the one
who takes the garbage out rather than living in it
maybe someone will make me believe
the day pigs learn to fly

(hmmph)

Heather - Are WE feeling a might bit testy this fine day???  hmmmm???  Naturally, I will respond to your poem in due time.  Just for now, I think it instructive for me to remind you of one very apt point - When a man marries, he chooses somebody who is beautiful and desireable.  Apparently, women only want to marry pigs.  I guess men have better taste than women, or better judgement, or are more intelligent, eh?  *self-serving sniff with nose haughtily in the air* lol

I LOVED the poem. Very funny *8)

      ok so if all men are not pigs
      then why do they leave
      all their stuff all over the floor?

We leave our stuff on the floor,
To show you how we care.
If we didn't love you anymore,
Why would we still be there?

     why do they like to grovel
     around in the mud playing football?

We grovel in the mud at times
With other men in the yard
Hoping that the gold we find
Will pay off your credit card!

     why do men eat like there's no tomorrow
     and the groceries are long overdue?

We eat like this is our last day,
Before we finally rest in peace.
We remember well the belly aches
When you don't follow recipes!

     well if all men are not pigs
     who forgot to close the gate
     on opening day of deer season?
     cuz all my pigs got out and ran away
     coming back just in time for their swill
         and then off again, to run wild

Perhaps it isn't for the deer
That we pigs all run away.
Perhaps it's for the fun and cheer
When you finally unlock the gate!

     if they're not pigs (all of 'em)
     will someone please show me
     one who shuts the lid on the toilet
     so I don't get an unexpected bidet
     at 2 am in the morning
     could you point him out please?

And if the toilet lid's down too,
Do you wet all over the floor?
Why not stop and check the loo,
Not after, but before?

     and lastly, if they're not all pigs
     prove it to me, by bringing me the one
     who takes the garbage out
     rather than living in it

To prove a theory, beyond fail,
No exceptions will be found.
I take out the garbage, I'm a male,
Ergo, your theory is unsound.

     maybe someone will make me believe
     the day pigs learn to fly

oooh
well people, you'll see Heather put DEAR in her reply. that's cuz I originally had dear in my reply to her, but I was ordered to take that out as well. THEN when I did, she goes and puts a reply with DEAR in it as a payback!

WOMEN!  

now pass the swill wench!

psst, Eric, I think we have her on the run now.  She's almost ready to admit we are not pigs.  Good going on that thing about the "Dear."  Did you notice her will crumbling as she called you "Dear" right back?  Don't worry about what I just wrote here.  It's in Italics, and I know for a fact that Heather doesn't known Italian!

Heather - You are lovely when you're haughty.  Did you know that?

psst, Eric.  See how I buttered her up with that cheap flattery?  They fall for it every time - heh heh.

Of course, Heather, you do realise that "She_Woman_Man_Haters_club" is an anagram of "man wont be rash hat clues m".

Eric...you proved nothing BUT that you have so much time on yer hands you can make an anagram, but isn't there a pile of stuff on yer floor and dirty clothes everywhere? (I know these things, his Mum told me a few days ago...said Eric was a VERY messy boy) Now I have proved my point, I expect obeisance and subservience....

Heather - thank you for that inspirational first line to the well known song, I Am Woman.  May I continue with more lyrics?  waiting the appropriate 5 seconds for Heather's reply......  Time's up

I am woman hear me roar,
I can't squeeze through double doors!
My hips have grown far too w-i-i-i-de.

I'm still empty-headed though,
Chocolate keeps me on the go!
I married a pig and lost all my pr-i-i-i-de.

Ohhhh, yes, I am wise,
I watch soaps every day.
Yes, I eat whole pies,
But they're all home made.

If I have to,
I can call men pigs.
If I have to,
They can find new digs.

I am wrong,
I am indefensible,
I am woooooman!!!


Well, now that I have successfully enacted my own ostracism, I think I'll not write the next verse.

Well me... I always put the seat down after I'm done... or sometime's I'll just pee sitting down so that there's never any overspray that might have to be cleaned up.

And I always make sure those little U shaped rugs in front of the toilet are perfectly straight before I leave... and the one over in front of the sink.  

And if my hands are really, really greasy or something -- I won't like wash them in the sink I always clean them off outside before I come in the house

As I do my shoes which I always take off and leave by the door

And I don't just go sit down and watch TV either... no I'll look all around the house to make sure all the garbage cans are in good shape first and see if there's any other things that need to be picked up

And if the hamper -- where I throw all my clothes -- is full I'll go ahead and start a load of laundry carful to sort out all the whites, darks, and colors, and make sure there are no 'delicates' that might get in there

And I do my own ironing every morning before I go to work

And when I do sit down to watch television I don't flip around a lot with the remote -- you know I hate that -- just put it on one channel and leave it there

And on Sunday's I don't just lay around on the couch watching football, no I'd rather do something fun like -- go to the mall

And when I go shopping I hate it when people say just make a list go in and get what you need and get out -- you know I like to just take my time and look around at everything

And after sex I like to talk.  Cuddle and talk ... you know -- listen for hours -- because sex energizes me it doesn't make me sleepy at all...

And, and, and, and,..... um..... well actually some of this IS true... lol

Yes it is true not all men are pigs.

Some things are just common courtesy!
At least to any intelligent normal man.

Like:
1 putting the toilet seat down.
2 replace the toilet paper roll.
3 refill the ice trays
4 taking out the garbage when its full
5 Washing the clothes when they need to be done.
6 Doing things when you notice they need to be done; and you do them with out any one asking.
.
Don't give me that crap; women have their typical faults as well they all are judged by too.

I'm just saying that there are a few good independant, sensitive men out there.

So don't judge someone based on the bad ones that have came your way as the typical male.

They're not all like that.

Thats it, thats all I have to say on the subject.

Heather - I have learned from hard-won experience that women are never satisfied with all the extra effort we men put into our house cleaning duties.  For example, when Lorelei asked me to clean her toilet, I did!  And to make sure it stayed clean throughout the night, I even covered the bowl with Saran Wrap.  And did Lorelei thank me?  N-O-O-O-O-O-O - not even once!  hmmmmpppphhhh - just call me a confused man!
