If Man Were An Island

If man were an island, Woman would be a continent. I know this because I must have a man in my life. It is a fact that embarrasses me. I have known many; married two. They were such a disappointment. From the bedroom to the garage, From the vows to the denials, Marriage was nothing more than Mothering a needy male of the Species known as *****sapiens. They wouldn't carry in the groceries Or carry out the garbage. They wouldn't pick up a sock Or wash a dish. They wouldn't do enough To free me to do the rest. There wasn't any reason for Them to exist. There was no intimacy. I did without; not knowing What I was missing until I was old, worn out, and lonely. God should have made Eve and left the extra rib for the wolves.
