Someone wrote the first haiku, so please hang in with me.This is a strange form I am using. Women I am sure at the end you will understand why I chose this form. This is all about men. Who understands them better than you. You dress us you feed us and than well and then there's this. COWBOYS IN THE BADLANDS CONTEST Cowboy 1: " Don't say a word' Cowboy 2: " I mean I..." Cowboy 1: "No not a word and I mean it." Cowboy 2: " It's just that..." Cowboy1: " Look we're in this dirthole of a desert. My horse smells worse than a rotting corpse infested with skunks on fire. You my friend smell worse than the horse. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this experience. I'm thirsty, I'm hungry, I'm tired, and I'm hot. Look where we are. Sand, dirty sand for three hundred and sixty degrees as far as the eye can see. There is nothing here but sand and tumble weeds. It feels like death so before you say another word think about that my friend." Cowboy2: " I just don't know why we didn't ask for directions"

ANSWER: BECAUSE WE'RE MEN, AND MEN DON'T ASK FOR DIRECTIONS. At least there was no little kid on the back of the horse asking "ARE WE THERE YET?".

LOL [shhhh men feel it's a sign of weakness] I always look at it as an adventure, I've crossed the ocean to visit a friend drive across England to their street only to realize I have neither the house # or her phone# [boy was my significant other PO'ed LOL - I said "My mistake I'll fix it!] I knocked on the door of the first house on the street and said "So sorry to bother you - stupid American here- I've come to meet my pen pal and she lives on this street. I forgot to write down the #!" She

Of course i will not submit this for the contest. I just saw two guys lost in the middle of nowhere and I thought...Men? What are you going to do, they never ask for directions.
