Lumbersexual

The metro man is out! Smooth skin,
They say, is now no longer in.
The sexy man has facial hair,
Some stubble, or a beard. His flair
Is outdoor rugged, manly charm.
He wears tattoos on hairy arm.
He loves his plaid, wears flannel shirt
And jeans, and sturdy boots with dirt.
Instead of going to the gym
He gives his apple tree a trim.
He loves environment and Earth,
Drinks fair trade coffee, finds it worth
To make organic, home baked goods,
Envisions living in the woods.
If he has nothing else to do
He goes out for a microbrew,
Opens the beer can with his knife
And dreams of self-sufficient life.

You just unzipped the covers of my mind to the unprecedented worship of your adorable lines with a powerful choice of words that can't just be ignored. Showers of your wisdom is well palpated in this page and the only thing I can say is a big WELL DONE! Can't wait to have more of your mental command flowing through my reading mind.

I think you're right, Agnes. Metro-man is WAY over-processed.

Well, that was an interesting poem for me :D Can I skip the tats and abs? They hold no attraction for me, the rest sounds great ;)

I prefer him without the tats, too :)

AWESOME, Agnes. I am glad to see I could inspire this fun write!! Thanks for letting me know. It flows very smoothly and I think I like THIS man a lot more than Metro man!

Yes, I find the outdoor charm more attractive, too - as long as it's not fake.
