The next generation of women

3/8/2014

Picture

Men are listening

for the very first

time

and history

is about

to reach its prime.

Remote controls

are a thing

of the past.

Surely,

selective hearing

could never last.

They can't say

"Honey, will you get me

another beer?"

and

"more potato chips,

when I'm sitting here!"

All jobs around the house

are finished

too.

Their lazy ways

are now

all through

but making babies

could be

a chore

for unsuspecting men

than ever

before!

Ask any man

if he has 9 months

to spare

and carry

the burden

of this domestic nightmare.

Give women

their due

and close to a year

by forgetting

about labor

and making it disappear.

Of course

the crybabies you'll hear

may never recover

from their previous incarnation

as the baby conceiving

lover.

So barefoot and pregnant

is the newly improved

male

and with the roles

in reverse

Epi - it's a nice thought, but it ain't gonna happen for a long time! Unfortunately women still endure way too much violence and misery at the hands of men. But it is so nice that we have sweethearts like you!

Well underneath this masculine manly manhood, lol, I am a feminist and yes behind every great man stands a better woman.
Thank you for your commentary and thoughts Vicki as always and listening to garage rock from the 60's on my headphones at 1:10am Canada/Ontario time

I always try to seek the truth in the flip side, Veronica, lol, through satire and humor - or at least a viable alternative, lol. Thank you for your support and rave reviews - it makes me feel the luckiest man in the world having a true friend like you. Canada time 1:11pm with the daylight change in time now - so there is one more hour of daylight in this pre-spring winter
