    [59] Gender Poetry


    A WOMAN'S POEM

    Before I lay me down to sleep,
    I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
    One who's handsome, smart and strong.
    One who loves to listen long.
    One who thinks before he speaks.
    One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
    I pray he's gainfully employed.
    When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.
    Pulls out my chair and opens my door.
    Massages my back and begs to do more.
    Oh! Send me a man, who'll make love to my mind.
    Knows what to answer to, "how big is my behind?"
    I pray that this man will love me to no end.
    And always be my very best friend.



    A MAN'S POEM

    I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac
    with huge boobs who owns a
    liquor store and a golf course.
    This doesn't rhyme and I don't care.
