Keepers of the Man Cave

Keepers of the "Man Cave" A revelation dawned today I've seen the refuge built Where the boy in a man be saved Sandbox space with trucks arrayed Standing guard your sacred forts Battles wars and raids dissuade Your hearts from changing their course Keepers of the "Man Cave" Protectors of cyber space Guarding testosterone sanctuaries This teenage "sacred place" Slaying your dragons on congenial battleground Plastic guns hunt the miles cross hemispheres Where the sound of "what the hell" resound Joyfully filling the hours of your years Keepers of the "Man Cave" Fantasy football and Game Day paraphernalia Seduction and booze hanging on your walls Left women thinking it was life dysplasia When in truth it's not that at all The weight you carry O'the strain of man Under constant burdens fearful you'll f a l l When In the joy of being boys you could stand Keepers of the "Man Cave" Filled with reminders to be young Hotties looking desirously toward you Your reprieve from things still undone Some of us know and even understand Your right to the "Man Cave" anomaly And the necessity for which it stands The place to bear up under all life demands Keepers of the "Man Cave" Your work it never ends And on YOU your family relies Your eyes and shoulders shrouded in strength But it's a long row to hoe for you guys So when the weary comes to patronize Let the boy in you have his day It's a right of passage signified A man can stand if he's given to play Keepers of the "Man Cave" Keep guard against perilous fight For that boy in you keeps our man tender And in your arms all our world is right

Sarai....this is a tremendous write.....so full of wisdom. I loved that FALL bit...oh, the truth of it. I'm so glad I'm not a man. The ability to cry and be vulnerable....is something I can't forgo. Thanks for your love and friendship.
