Ardhanarishwar

Male macho am I
With bulging biceps and the rest
Stern indeed is my mien.

I take control 
My every move I plan
Hate sissies, I do!

Yet give me a tear-jerker
And I'll jerk them out
In copious streams!

But Macho am I
None can dare see me cry,
Reduced to Maudlin mush!

Give me a sob story
Chocolate melt is my heart
Macho is mucho gone!

Body sports, guts and grit
Is all very fine
But anyone game for a bit of bitching?

Metro, Hetro, Alpha and the rest
All words erased
With the pouf of purfume/scent!

ARDHANARISHWAR!
