Lots of Bull

She is the mad man of Charlay he said.
But isn’t she a woman? I asked.
More manly he replied. Thus I call her a man.
Is that okay with her? 
I am sure it is okay with them.
She uses both he and she; she is ambidextrous.
I smile, sure he is using the wrong word.
But what would I know?
I do not even know the correct way to spell Charolais.
Please ignore this poem.
It is a lot of bull…..

Sam Kauffman September 15, 2021 at 11:46 AM Great tongue in cheek Caren. Indeed there is great ambiguity in the ambidextrous and often a shade of humor in its double entendre! Just delightfully crafted especially with your "Charolais!" Thanks for the romp through the bull.... Caren Krutsinger September 15, 2021 at 1:04 PM Thank you Sam for enjoying the romp!

L Milton Hankins September 15, 2021 at 11:07 AM Nope, I don't think so. It's a fine play on the word. Gosh, how do you spell it? Is it "Challot?" Just guessing. Loved your line with "ambidextrous." Superb!!! And what a way to end with "Charolais" which many will not know is a bull! Good one, Caren. Caren Krutsinger September 15, 2021 at 1:04 PM If you don't know that you are not from Iowa.
