Overclocked

What must it be like to be male? To live with an overclocked metabolic system that’s always on the lookout for brazen and unmistakable propositions - like a smile or a "please pass the salt." I mean at times we all have those feelings - primitive as oil - but not the constant, fast forward, high density need that males seem to live with. It must be like wrestling a trapped demon.. . . *this piece is supposed to be a slight exaggeration for comic effect - a satire*

I get it Anais. Tongue in cheek. Some guys are, indeed, on a testosterone tightrope. Wait till they age. Keep the verses coming. Your postings are a cooling breeze for an over heated summer. Take care, Brian

Sometimes it is a blessing and sometimes it is a curse; sometimes you win and sometimes you get shot down, but it is always better than just sitting around waiting for something to happen...this being from a male's point of view. :) John

Thank you, Anais, but I am male, and you are not describing me. I'm sorry you have this general impression of the male gender.

Oh - NO! I like guys - this piece is supposed to be a slight exaggeration for comic effect - a satire.
