The 1st Television Misogynist

He was small and portly but their leader
didn't want anyone in the club being a cheater
with everyones full attention while seated
he reiterated his drastic thoughts and feelings,

Explaining to his buddies to steer clear
of the feminine gender some held dear
saying they were just a pain in the neck
so just to ignore them he told them was best,

The meeting was adjourned and Spanky closed the door
straightening his "Women Haters Club" sign once more
with Alfalfa feeling confident he wouldn't cave in
till Darla started flirting with him once again….

I love The Little Rascals.I have the whole set from way back when. Remember when Alfalfa stood looking in the mirror & said: " Alfalfa your mama's trying to make a sissy out of you". I even have my 10 yr old g-daughter watching the last 5 yrs :) 7

Such a cool and funny poem, Cheryl. I loved the Our Gang. And was just thinking about the Bowery Boys yesterday ... Slip and the Boys. You made me smile w/this nostalgic trip back to childhood. Sweet poetry. Love it ... a 7! Love and hugs.

YAY! Love the PO, Love the gang. True story: I once belonged to a men's group called the "Plungerheads." Our expressed goal was to not take ourselves seriously. Now I belong to WAGASS (will furnish explanation of acronym via PM if you request;-) Thanks for this reminder today — I'll probably spend a buncha time watching Our Gang vids today. VIVA!!! Hugs 'n sillies! ~ j
