Inbetween Mars and Venus

This is Saturday humour, with apologies to anyone I've offended about their politics or manhood:) Also thanks to Lorry and Dave

What is it about men?

What is it about women?

So many times it's been said,

it's a constant surprise to me

that relationships ever survive,

as many of them are doomed to die.

Yet I'm a firm believer in

Men are from Mars, women from Venus.

And there's that other place,

the one that comes between us.

Yes that's it, the Planet Penis.

If anything's going to c**k things up,

it's that nonentity.

When I mentioned this to Lorry

in a running commentary he said to me

"Trump would make a great president there,

and without doubt is the biggest dick of the lot".

I agree wholeheartedly,

he has befitting hair for the job

and qualifies with his wandering knob.

In case you think this is a plot against men,

think again, I love you all,

which covers you big 'uns, the deflated, the shy,

the persistent and the small.

You'll all remain dear to me

so long as you don't interfere with me :)

I told you, it was really cold that day :)
And what is it exactly that you're thanking me and zDave for? We promised not to mention that outside of fight club :)
It is good to see that weekend silliness is making a comeback though. Thats what they are for...Weekends I mean, not...never mind :)

[Chris Shaw]

A bit of weekend silliness between friends goes a long way I say :) And that fight club, bet the membership's increasing in size. Oh dear can't get off this bloomin subject now. That poem is gonna curse me for the rest of my days:)

Chris,
Too bad you didn't get to vote for Trump! I must say, this carries you away from familiar territory. I must admit it is clever. Perhaps this an attempt to do your own "A Room of One's Own" by Virginia Wolfe. By the way, just read an interesting bio on her . . . short but grabbed the essentials. Sorry for rambling . . . just a bit dazed by your poem! I did like it, but I've never been on Mars!

Thank you Tom. Yes my muse was in a mischievous mood when I wrote this. A deviation from the norm. Thank you for your visit.

Men are meant to hunt and peck... women are meant to find and gather... in a garden where love is provided ... Shelter is under the flowering trees and berries are sweet and birds tweet. From beginning of time we seem to survive and reproduce all that is divine. truly, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

Dear Pat, thank you for such a beautiful and poetic response to my bit of weekend humour. Flowering trees, berries and tweeting birds always does it for me. A far more romantic approach to love. Hope you are well and happy. All good wishes.

[Samuel Dickens]

I'm speechless. Laughing, but struck stupid speechless. Okay, okay, I'll ask this one question--planet penis--could it have two nearby moons?

[Chris Shaw]

Hello Sam. Struck dumb but laughing over my writing:) That is certainly a reaction. You know you may be right about those two nearby moons :) Just a bit of playful imagination here. A little bit of weekend fun.

Chris

[kentuck14]

Hey Sam . . . that's a great one!!!

[Ana Papaya]

clever writing Chris, :)
best dick poem ever

[Chris Shaw]

That means a lot to me Ana :))) I have achieved. Thank you.

[emmajoy]

And there was me thinking 'bout declarations of intent and you destroy Sunday's all day breakfast! Can only imagine you've a menu at hand, plus two for the price of one? Laughing, having read twice, wondering what on earth you'll come up with next!

[Chris Shaw]

Sometimes you just need to change the subject and tempo. Thanks Em. Silly season.

Chris

[Davidgeo]

"planet penis".... ha... you're hilarious Chris.

[Chris Shaw]

Hope this silliness gave you a smile. Thanks for checking in.

Chris

[Beccy]

Be fair Christine, if men were any different they might start to make us look a bit less superior, (don't ever mention that though,) or they might just start to behave and that would be a real shame, because I like them exactly as they are. :))

Beccy.

[Chris Shaw]

Hello Beccy. I also like them just the way they are because they are easy to tease if not to please :)

Chris

[Onlyme]

Oh my, Chris, this made me laugh. The inevitable monster in the pants strikes again. Causing madness and mayhem for couples. LOL and sadly so true. As they say, men think with their penises. And poor Trump. I had to giggle. This is a cracker poem. Made me smile.

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks Dawn. I wrote it Saturday morning just to lighten the mood and make people smile. Just a bit of week-end silliness. Thanks for checking it out :))

[Onlyme]

My pleasure Chris. Be back for more.

[kentuck14]

Hey, come on enough with the penis jokes . . . this makes me want to get a sex change!!! (Well, not really . . . it's just another male insecurity!)

[Sarah K Cass]

This caught my eye having read the Mars and Venus book. Your poem really made me chuckle.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you SessyK. That's what I wS hoping to achieve. Some lighthearted fun. Pleased to meet you and thanks for checking in.

[Dave]

Picking on poor old Humpty Dumpty Trump! Of course he's well endowed, just ask him. Of course you must take into account that he lies, like a rug. Don't see or hear too much, lately, about his wife. Has she had enough of his willingness to share his "endowment". I suppose it's a good thing to have that much wealth. Who or what, otherwise, would be interested?

Take care - Dave

[Chris Shaw]

Hello Dave. I was having a bit of Saturday fun when I wrote this. You can blame Lorry for bringing Humpty into it. Come to think of it, we don't see much of Melania anymore do we? Poor woman who in their right mind would want to be her. Hope you are OK.
