Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Free verse

I Am Gay

I just found out.....

Well, I don't know how to say it?

Would you think less of me
If I say just the way it is?

I thought I was a Macho man, 
A rollicking Romeo, 
A lusting Lothario, A libertine,
A Don Juan, A Casanova,
A raving stud, A flirt,
A prowling philanderer, A womanizer,
A playboy, A skirt chaser, A lecher;

But by golly, I am none of the above!

I found.....
I am .... Well, I am,
I am GAY!

Aha! Gotcha!! Not so fast!!!

I mean HAPPY!
I am a HAPPY MAN!
