The real question here is do you want to be the man in charge or the woman who really knows what's going on?

Would I be a man if I had the chance,
To grow hair in strange places and jump up and dance,
Whenever a touchdown is made for my team,
Or a goal scored in Hockey and jump up and scream,

And scare the bejiggers out of my mate,
Even though she is trying real hard to relate,
And understand my excitement when we make first down,
And show she's enthused and tries not to frown.

Would I want to do chest bumps and yell like a monkey,
And scratch, fart and belch and think it's real funny;
Come home from work and sit down on the couch,
Pick up the remote and go into a slouch;

Or should I be satisfied just as I am,
For from the beginning it was God's plan,
To take sugar and spice and things to entice,
And create a woman so things would be nice;

For He first made the man but he wasn't complete,
So He gave him a woman so the poor guy could eat;
For without us the guys just don't stand a chance.
Unless I'm here to help him mine can't find his pants.

Judy, I really loved your sense of humor. Living alone and not attempting to find a mate is an interesting poem.

Interesting poem, living alone and no way I'll try to find a partner, still I value the company I had from my poor wife. Now I'm lost without her.
