Men Are Just Boys

Men are just boys Someone has said So, give them a treat Then tuck them in bed Give them a toy When day is done Sweet goodnight kiss Let them have fun Say a kind word Set them aright Payback will shine All through the night Do set the mood With words of praise Seductive look? Your tool to daze! Keep hands busy Gadgets will do They want to play With those and you Just let them feel Much like a boss Stroke their ego When they get cross Act “submissive” Be in control Get a firm grip On heart and soul Listen to me! A man is a boy With one diff’rence: Price of the toy Men get boo boos Need tender care Nurse and Mommy Be always there Give them sugar They need a treat Some good loving So they stay sweet Men are simple This I can say Play your cards right Have it YOUR WAY! ;) Eileen Manassian Ghali

This was charming. That said, "Men" are not simple. Boys are. Men, the right man, has a much more in-depth & substantial representation than that.

Very humorous, I agree with Marlon though, we are not all so simple although I do have a playful side.
