I always believed that a man was made hard,
made for ridin' bulls and racin' cars,
pickin' up life by the short hairs,
knock-down drag-outs at biker bars,
jumpin' off the edge of earth
and carryin' a woman up to the stars.

I still believe that a man is made hard
on the outside but soft on the in
like one of those tootsie roll pops
that have one side thin...
a good woman always knows the spot,
counting the licks of how and when.

Though my sweet-tooth fell out years ago,
I do still sample now and then.

unless hes a keeper
or a big spender

  I think it's the way we grow up, to think that men are hard and strong.  I love the bit about the licks, and the way you take a taste now and then.  It made me smile.

thanks everyone

I'm glad you enjoyed this

in all honestly, it started out in my head to be serious and maybe a little sad, but somehow it just took a turn LOL
