Masculine Male

Masculine male,
was a macho,
I did not know,
it was twice male,
once masculine,
and then macho,
it was the difficult way,
that I learnt the two,
he came across,
as an ordinary,
who would sound ordinary,
I was flummoxed,
at his tall talk,
but when he flexed out,
it all rippled in tosses,
I was impressed,
what was ordinary,
was now masculine and macho,
then all of a sudden,
walked in the next builder,
he was more ordinary,
but proved more masculine and macho,
when he opened and flexed,
now the first one paled,
and even looked very feminine,
now I know,
these adjectives are relative,
and have to read as scene demands.
