Roy Pett Poet Rhyme

Real Men

Seriously do real men need to groom?
spend so many hours on their appearance 
slapping on face creams,  applying perfume,
deodorant sprays or designer scents,

Seriously do real men need to compete?
prove their stamina, show their fitness 
kiss and tell, outspoken never discreet,
courageous, total self belief, fearless,  

Seriously do real men hide emotions?
always be in control of their senses
never express love or write love poems,
show no emotions, emotional defences,

Seriously do needs of real men, really matter?
are they superficial? not needs, just wants,
selfish attention seeking, constant nagger,
not worth knowing, no need for a response,

Seriously does being a real man mean integrity?
being truthful, showing sympathy, love,
affection, discretion, express sincerity,
or just be himself, just doing all the above.

But Seriously What is a real man?
