Reversible Baggage

In Backwards Land where ladies worship me,
And never cut my brilliant speeches short;
Where women celebrate adultery,
And feel the same as I; they’re merely sport;
Where broads don’t care how many kids I’ve got,
And care far less how many mothers by;
Where chicks acknowledge make-up makes ‘em hot,
And no mascara runs if bunnies die;
There, because then I’d be a perfect man,
Freed bulky baggage through which snoopers dig,
I’d rarely have to fear the frying pan
Greased up ‘n aimed at this chauvinist pig.
   Ah, but a pipe-dream.  How am I single?
     Nevermind, dollies.  Who wants to mingle?

If 'ifs' and 'buts' were cherries and nuts we'd all have a merry Christmas! I'm thinking Wednesday might be a good day for happy write day. What do you think?

Phillip, if guys in prison can find a woman to marry them while they are serving life, I'm certain another will come along:) Keep laughing my friend:)

You weren't supposed to giggle, damn it! I've never composed a more serious and heartfelt sonnet
