It was an awful tragedy I heard,
I rushed here to get the news.
It seems that Larry C is ill
he thought so hard his brain got bruised.

Well I rushed in to the hospital
to see what I could do.
The doctor said he'll need a transplant
cost of the brains will fall on you.

Well how much does a brain cost
the other poets did inquire.
Standard price he said "$200 thou,
but a man's brain is much higher."

All the men stood round and nodded
cause they thought they understood.
They all thought that men were smarter
the brains were priced the way they should.

But you see I was not satisfied and asked
"why's the price different, I'm confused."
Doctor said "We can not charge the same price,
because the woman's brains been used."


Doin the Happy Dance...... Is Someone Keepin Score on This.. hehehehe

Reading you words I surely know,
This is just all in good fun,
As funning will go,

But if the thing were reverse,
Though not any worse,
I think there would be a boo and a hiss
As everyone would say “he’s sexist.”

The male seems to be the popular foil,
Despite any labor or toil.
And what if the man was a blonde
I’m sure the abuse would continue on.

Yes this all in good fun,
And I’m sure it will continue as begun,
With joyful mocking of the male
That will always be stupid and fail.

But don’t expect me to follow suit,
I’ve not the attitude for being so cute,
Yes it not true abuse I know,
But what side of you does it show?

I read something very similar once that was sent to me as a joke via email.  I liked your version better though.  Cute...

Midnitesun,
There's one thing you should know about me,
I'd far rather play with the ladies you see.
The play it may be a tumble and even rough,
But I'm a man who can say when I've had enough.

This isn't about my pride you see,
This is about what fun might be.
That Lucie she is a great sport,
Afterall, with the ladies I can cavort!
