How To Be Vulnerable Top Secret For Men Only

All our wives agreed, "It's a manly thing to do," "Start yourselves a man-group, for the good of you," Find your feelings! (???) Our heads were reeling! An unmitigated crock of poo! But being manly-men we faced our fate, (Or maybe — not to lose our dinner plate?) To keep the peace (Elusive golden fleece!) We commenced to congregate. We held our first meeting at a quarter-of Bravely resolved to take off the glove We'd dig deep, Maybe weep! (At least when push came to shove.) Pretty soon the gals said, "How's it goin?" We said, "Fine, but it's not for your knowin" A quote from the book by one Doctor Crook: "Confidentiality's needed for growin." Weeks went by, we were flying high, Gettin' real good at "how to sigh," but son-of-a-glitch we just could not hitch our eyeballs to "here's how to cry." The pressure was on, we hollered, "OH LORDY!" "We're manly-men, but this cryin' ain't sporty!" The girls were pryin' (Tired of our sighin') It was time for some WD-40! Miracle-in-a-can, known to all men The answer to prayer since way back when Watta ya say? A tiny spray And our wives were happy again! So men if you need absolution, (though it requires a bit of pollution) WD in the eye, Makes a realistic cry, There just ain't no better solution!

I've always said WD-40, vise grips, and a glue gun will solve most all your problems! I hadn't really thought of that use though. Don't worry I won't cry about it!! Great write! no doubt you are a master!!!!......Pat
