Women And Holidays (Men, Football And Beer) Poem by David Whalen

Could you just imagine
the lack of imagination
If men had to buy presents
And pretty them up with decorations

What would it be like
For men to bake the cookies
Or to buy and send cards
To all the friends and families

To think of men buying the food
absolutely boggles the mind
Men in aprons, you gotta’ be kiddin dude
Much less doing the cooking grind

Impossible to describe men helping
on the holidays, In any way except lame
Seeming to contribute in the best way by…
Stayin out of women’s way…watchin the game

Sittin’ on their butts and soakin’ up beer
Are men’s natural inclinations and ways
And it’s readily apparent and abundantly clear…
That it’s women that give meaning to the holidays!
