Unwomanned

Here, I dwell in no man's land,
On the flip side, there's men unwomanned,
They can be a miserable band,
Desperately seeking a hand,
I read their profiles for online dating,
Is this pulp fiction they're creating?
"Honest, sensuous, sincere men here,
Tactile and reliable...", Great, my dears,
All searching for affection,
BUT, I want your ex's true opinion!
Can I have her phone number, please?
What do you mean she's overseas,
Like forever and permanently?
Oh, really, really, really.....
What does your ex say about you, please?
Why complain about her to me?
Honestly, why are you unwomanned?
While, here I dwell in no man's land.........

Panagiota Romios July 6, 2019 at 8:02 PM Enjoyed this, males, my FAVS are imperfect as we, who are so good and innocent? They lie on line, as much as they can to your face. It's up to us to find the gems in this game. There are some wonderful men IMHO. Lying in big in any profession and in both sexes, so have fun in this game of life. I have for decades. Panagiota and a good poem,
