BI-CEREBRATE

Now, for a little comedy, to balance out all that Weighty Stuff...OR IS IT?! (read in conjunction with "Bee Movie", for a different spin!)

 

BICEREBRATE

 

Every man, I’ve heard it said,

Has not one, but in fact, TWO heads

One head is large, the other, quite small,

But the Larger head has no mind at all!

 

The Small one owns its owner complete,

And drags him about by his own two feet

Making him do what he knows he mustn’t…

But the Large one has some things the smaller head doesn’t!

 

It alone knows Loving, and Feeling, and Caring,

And knows that Love’s not for Hurting, but Sharing

Thus, the Larger, though not stronger, is Kinder,

And MUST be consulted ‘fore the Small seeks to find her!

 

March, 1992

Thats exactly how i hear women describe men... thats funny but i really like it. You did a fantastic job on this piece, brilliant!

[Black]

beautiful words,
and well thought imagery
it is well phrased,
and i never saw a man which such a wisdom about himself

[emmajoy]

Giggling now coz at first I wanted to say, 'But Mark, I don't understand ... ' but quickly decided pretended naivety just doesn't fit the bill with a cleverly written post that made me crease up laughing!!! Not being a man, never quite understood this or that .. think i do now - just a little. Prime time writing!

I like how you combine humor with very real human emotion and feelings. Well penned. :)

You have truly captured the essence of men, and exposed our strengths and weaknesses! Why, you're going to have us all found out if you keep this up! Thanks for sharing this intimage insights!!!

[Becky C Strukamp]

AH, this was masterfully articulated. Brilliant just brilliant!

[Lourisa]

True,yes: Two headed men, but we love them all the same. Lovely fun poem, Mark.

[bob, small b. aka invs]

very nicely written. now i'd like to hear what the other head has to say.

Great stuff, love the wit of it and the truth in the wit. It can be hard to be driven by such a demonic little devil of such singular intent. Your poem is entirely right though, the larger mind and heart must win over the trouser tyrant.

Cute, true and to the point! Good analysis of men's thinking done in the spirit of fun.
