Free verse rambling about relationships, fashion and teenagers at the mall

My girl dragged me to the mall 

I hate shopping for anything 

But I had no choice

When you live with a woman 

There's lots of s**t you go along with 

So she doesn't feel taken for granted

Women really hate that

and there's lots of s**t you take for granted

Like all the s**t she turns a blind eye to 

because you're a cave dwelling neanderthal 

and you do things that appall her senses daily 

and don't realize you're doing it 

But she puts up with you 

because she knows real men are savages

Hearts of gold, but savages 

It's a decent enough trade off I suppose 

The mall was swarming with teenagers 

Teenage girls make me feel conflicted

Because some of them look delicious 

But I'm in my mid thirties now 

So I feel conflicted eye balling them 

But I can't stop doing it 

because I'm a cave dwelling neanderthal 

I'm discrete about it though 

Because it ain't polite to stare 

I saw teenage boys dressed as girlie as the girls were 

I thought "This is what kids do now?" 

I found nothing objectionable about this 

Honestly I was kind of glad 

Cause that gangsta look was getting old

Pull your goddamn pants up kid

You look like a hobo 

I was in the Marine Corps man 

We didn't walk around with our asses hanging out 

There's no pride or honor in that look 

Your pants don't f*****g fit 

and no one wants to see your underwear 

So dress girlie instead 

I'm not gonna do it though 

I'm like a big f*****g dude 

and I'm in my thirties 

So if I dressed girlie and went to the mall 

to stare at teenage girls 

That would be all kinds of fucked up 

My girl's not gonna turn a blind eye to that

Something my dad taught me about guys... :) I avoid the mall because whenever I go, we run into students.... and they do NOT want to see me out in the real world... Enjoyed this rant, Mark.

I saw a kid in the grocery story with pants so low his belt was aorund his his thighs. On a positive note, though, he had really nice buns. I wouldn't expect you so see it that way, of course...

[Baby Ricochet]

Now that's funny. Thanks Marie

That's a lot of feminine influence. No wonder you're such a romantic. The only woman in my house growing up was my mom. She wasn't what you'd call "girlie" to begin with and she cranked out all boys. I went straight from that testosterone fueled environment into the Marine corps when I was 18. Obviously not a hole hell of a lot of feminine influence in my childhood and young adult years. It's no wonder I've a history of running amok over a hot piece of a*s.

hilarious and you dressed up girlie that's gotta be worth seeing, so we do live in this world of doing what makes her happy cos it's easier all round, maybe we even get a little for ourselves if we're lucky lol :)

There are so many things you can't get away with. My husband has always told me (for decades) I'll stop looking when I'm dead. This I have come to terms with but...gawking is not cool. He's pretty lucky I shop a lot on line. ; )

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Blue
