- When I Was Going To Pee -

If I were a boy - I would be a son
If I were a boy - I would not use a pink dummy
If I were a boy - I would be a brother
If I were a boy - I would not wear ribbon in my hair
If I were a boy - I would have been a young man
If I were a boy - I would not walk with high heels
If I were a boy - I would be a lovely man
If I were a boy - I would find me a wife
If I were a boy - I would drop housework
If I were a boy - I would have been a husband
If I were a boy - I would have had ten children
If I were a boy - I would be a father to my children
If I were a boy - I would read fairy tales in bed for all my ten children
If I were a boy - I would be the grandfather of my grandchildren
If I were a boy - I would sit in a rocking chair smoking my pipe

The best thing about being a boy would probably be
that I do not have to pull down my pants when I am going to pee

‘when I was going to pee’ is sweet Anne Lise, remember the lines from Beyonce’s song: ‘if I were a boy’? Yours is better than hers. The ability to contemplate being opposite sex reflects maturity. In ‘token loin cloth ‘I am my female lover—lusting after the archetypal macho-manliness of Nikko Dakai; he’s the real me: ardent bicyclist, runner, tracker, yoga teacher and vegetarian mountain-lion stalker.

Hey there, I laughed while reading this poem. I wish you contest happiness. As for the pee and pants thing. That is so true. Except now as an aging old man, who has had a stroke or two, maybe three. I now have to sit and pee; of course it is a necessary hassle, but I cope. May you do well in the contests.
