Men

Silly thoughts are a mans best friend How they embarrass themself without end Falling all over themself you see Leave us all laughing with glee Foolish at times how they speak Clamoring for some attention they seek Leave us to just shake our heads When to women the same line is fed This was written for Aaliya and her first year of high school! How the boys want to try to talk to her and say the same things to other girls!;)

Hi Brenda, This is often true when one is immature (for both genders). I think when one gets older(in the mind) not necessarily physical (sometimes) the players days will come an end. But until then they will have as many women/ man as they can get. Because they're not looking for nothing serious. It's a game. I enjoyed the read. Happy Holidays to you and your family:-) Alexis

Alexis you are so right! Days of game playing eventually ends and both genders can and usually do mature and leave it all behind! Thank you!;)

Brenda, it is an immutable truth you do so ably write of...indeed -- an immutable truth! I would wager many a man, in abashed and retired reflection, has had cause to regret and silently lament, and on more than just one previous occasion I shouldn't wonder, after having resorted to crass sounding, worn out cliches when attempting to woo the fairer sex: same old same old. Nothing much changes here I guess. Mind you -- doesn't stop em from trying! Nicely penned, Poetess. Lol :) john

Lmao! Thank you John! But it isn't really fair to some men because not all are like that! But in my experience they are but hey what do I know!;) lol!;)

I think it was the writer Erica Jong who said "Men and women - women and men - it will never work" Good poem, Brenda! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Brenda, I have to say this poem found it's mark. Except for the wall flowers of the world, who were happy just to make them laugh. -Richard

So witty true this humorous poetry be, Bre C! Men at work need to rest their jive. This cool poem is so cross gender relatable. Your hip style sway thoughts to the right aisle. Got ink power of persuasion that last a long while. Ty for putting your PSoup pen pal on a creative prowl. LOVE this poem tho'. Love and hugs always.

They need time to practice. I feel for the young guys. It takes courage to risk rejection. I always found “Hello” worked best. Hugs Rick.

You are so right! But it would help if they used different lines when talking to the girls!;) thank Rick!;)

Haha Gershon well I do feel sorry for the boys if only they used different lines for the girls! They seem to think that the girls won't figure it out!;) thanks Gershon!
