If I Were a Guy

Would I change from a girl, and give up all my curls? Would I quit wearing dresses, stop paying hairdressers? Change places with him? Be a “he”, not a “she”? Be a guy? Would I buy it?…For awhile I might try it! I’d rise in the morning, shave off my stubble Put on some clothes, no need for much trouble, No lipsticks, or makeup, no blushes, nor creams. What should I wear?….Just a shirt that is clean I would wiggle my toes, discard panty hose! Buy me some boots, holler and hoot Own handyman tools, love my Lazyboy throne Where I'll watch all the games, claim the remote If I want to be cool, cigars too, I’ll smoke! I could slurp eating soup, then burp like a guy, and wear a toupee, unless I go gray! If there’s gray at my temples, distinguished, ….how simple!! Instead of Miss Clairol, I'll use a Gillette Hold in my belly, and puff out my chest Whistle, and flirt, at young girls in short skirts! I would eat steak and fries and a big piece of pie! Not stress over size, of my hips or my thighs! I won’t drink tea so dainty, out of cups filled half empty No tantrums or tears, just a beer with the guys! Start a fight just to try it, get a punch in the eye! If I pout, they won’t buy it, if the girl in me cries out! Well, I gave it a whirl…I was a guy in my dreams A dream that I had? Or a nightmare gone bad? I’m glad I'm awake..and the switch I WON'T make!! I woke up as a girl, it's not as bad as it seemed! (Apologies to all the fine gentlemen out there!) --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have one here some place in my files that is the same theme. It was for some contest a long way back. I don't think I'd even want to change for a guy, even in my dreams. Congratulations. Love, Joyce

No need to apologize to THIS 'gentleman' my very funny friend! I admit we got it made when it comes to our appearance...I used to use Just For Men but I always overdid it and looked ridiculous so I stopped that nonsense. In MY 50's I had salt & pepper colored hair...now it's all salt and no pepper...

That was some dream Carrie! Funny how our subconscious stereotypes so well. This is a fun contest Frank has going here. He is going to have a tough time picking out the winners, I think. Thanks for entertaining me this evening ... now I have to go whistle at some skirts. ;-)
