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?
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

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 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've been told I have a men's look when I can't find things - is this part of the men's syndrome? (Report) Reply

Men are men they will never change so do women r women they will never change, one should accept this fact and live peacefully. (Report) Reply

Not associating it with their apparent laziness
and lack of initiative. Beautiful my dear Roseann. In short verses you bring into consciousness so much of lively facts. thank you dear Roseann (Report) Reply

Revelation for Men

When they come back worn out
from work (usually) late
in the evening,
the men ugly throw down
their shoes polished
with much care in the morning.

Behind the table they stay
chew quickly
a sharp morsel
and go the cold beds
(the children sleep with the new toys) .

And they think to get to sleep
this night without a dream.

Sometimes in their dream the men cry … (Report) Reply
