Men! ! ! !

This is forthrightly hitting the nail on the head. I couldn't have said it better. However, it plainly discusses laxity but says a lot more figuratively. Thanks, poetess.(Report)Reply

When a man has said he will do a thing, he will! No need to keep reminding him every six months or so😉(Report)Reply

Men lament that they have no time to do things
needed being done.

Yet, they sit wasting time, watching T.V. for
hours at a time.

Not associating it with their apparent laziness
and lack of initiative.

So true. So true. Lenient and salient. A thought-provoking piece, dear poetess.(Report)Reply

Haha. I see your frustration here. Men are the there for us to struggle for and make us sensible. :)(Report)Reply

Men? Well why not say humans to include women too, and they must be, and avoid sexism.(Report)Reply

'Men lament that they have no time' is a common refrain for men including me at times. This sweeping generalization might not be palatable to all. Thanks.(Report)Reply

Is this poetry or a mere prosaic statement that tries to speak the truth, although not very clearly.
For instance: 'needed being done' is bad English.

The last two lines are clearly plain prose. It should be 'sheer laziness' not 'apparent'. Why be shy of speaking the truth?(Report)Reply

Short but nice, Thanks for sharing(Report)Reply

Wow... "You put clouds in my coffee" Nice!(Report)Reply

What away to deliver a message with amusement directly
Leaving the reader in suspencial mindset.(Report)Reply

For real, True words my sister.

Always hungry but don't like to cook
Oldest trick in the book,
We, as women gave them bad habit.
Too late to change it.

Love it! ! !(Report)Reply

I so agree read my men men(Report)Reply

I didn't realize you'd met me! No, I'm too busy on PH to watch Tv. Mind you I do copy my Cat's Buddhist philosophy a little too religiously. Good message.

Waow! What a blast! Well, I think this subjective. Real men are good companions. Read my poem: Because I am a Special Man(Report)Reply

blame all the men and docs
for a listless life
when one is in coma
and they do nothing

ask them to consult me

you are a doctor
see deep into her eyes
and
then there will be no surprise
yourself be not surprised
you have rendered your will
her to live in coma still
why come and ask me
message me if you will
yo are a doctor
do not let innocent ones
in coma live still...
if you have a sensible will(Report)Reply

I know some womwn like that too. That is if they ever get off the phone!(Report)Reply
