Yes, Man CAN

  
     Listening to the ball game on the radio
        as he hums his favorite song on the internet
     all the while creating effervescent poetry
        and downing cream-and-sugar-drenched coffee… 

     See! A man CAN do several things simultaneously
        ~ as long as they’re all part of his world of fantasy

Hi Gershon, you pen poems while doing all that. Sometimes I pen outside when the weather is mild. But I don’t write as actively as you do. Keep up the great work. Shalom :))))

:)) Love it! Mine is beer, coffee with a shot of Jack Daniels. Only after bacon and eggs dripping butter. In glutenous control of course. What the heck!

What a man can do, a woman does better, they can bring calm to stormy weather. They can sing and dance when clearing up a man’s mess, without receiving their thankfulness… Beryl
