Hard To Be Male & Cocky! (For Lyn) Poem by Dónall Dempsey
Hard To Be Male & Cocky! (For Lyn)
She, takes off
his clothes
& then...?
she puts them
back on again.
He, just grins
(grimaces)
& bears it.
She, takes off
his clothes
& then...?
she puts them
back on again.
He, just gazes
(impressively impassive)
steadfastedly ahead
a plastic smile
fixed upon his face.
She, takes off
his clothes
& then...?
puts them
back on again.
ACTION MAN!
looks hugely embarassed
to be caught
wearing Barbie's frock
...Cindy's shoes.
It's hard to look
macho & cocky
...thus attired.
And in that cute
little pill-box hat.
You think Life's
easy
being a male
idol doll?
Hey ACTION MAN!
Nice shoes....man!
But what can he
do?
Used to dealing
with any deadly peril
now at the mercy
(trapped in the hands)
of this
my little girl.

It was even better when Donall performed it, live. He caught me all out every time with the twists and turns in the piece. You can imagine where my mind was being led! Well done, maestro!
