Comma

A jest at the opposite sex.

If you didn't know

Both men and women

Have been assigned their own

Agenda roles

 

But here is my main point

The focus is not

On "that time of the month"

But... in the week after

"The woman's comma" I've dubbed

 

A time for reflection

A pause if you will

A sigh of relief... and

Lastly, a prayer to God

Thanking him for His plan

Making me the simple creature called man

I'm with you on this one
it would suck to be a woman
We have it made as men

[Michael G. Smith]

We are the simple creatures.

I like this one, Michael. You look at a woman's cycles through a male perspective and find that you're glad you were born a man. I, however, would much rather be a woman - the thought of shouldering a rifle and marching into war never appealed to me. Each sex has its postives and negatives, and I believe God has made members of each of the sexes in such a way that they can handle the negatives inherent to their sex better than the other sexes' members could. Does that make sense? Don't know, but just don't hand me a gun!

I agree the Lord assigned us genders for a divine purpose. Even though this piece is written in jest at both males and females we should all have a confidence in he roles we play. I definitely respect goodly females; wives, mothers, daughters, etc... I also understand my role as a man and i'm grateful to be so.

Ha! You should thank God for making you a man at that time of the month... and you should buy your wife flowers. And do the dishes. ;) Cleverly penned, Mike!

[Michael G. Smith]

My wife is a unique woman she has on more than one occasion told me if I buy her flowers and chocolate I don't love her. She enjoys power tools. But, yes I do my best to cater to her needs. Thanks Rita.

Cleverly jested and penned.

[Michael G. Smith]

Believe or not my wife came up with the idea.

My first read...and I um...feel a bit irritated. But that could be hormones talking and not my intellect. Forgive me for feeling insane. Maybe God granted us that "period of time each month" to give us a break from you?

[Michael G. Smith]

Or break us in two? I cleared this poem with my wife before I posted it. I want her to feel she's the boss.

[Frieda P]

Did this one come to you after a period by chance? This is exactly how I know God is a man too, I'd thank him more profusely if he had let you guys deal with it, 'that time of the month' as you so aptly put it....interesting read Mike.

Sometimes prayers aren't enough, because it'll come back next month lol

[Michael G. Smith]

But, that's why there is the comma week and I'll still be a man, lol.

[Tiffany Boles]

Lol, just a giggling.
