Cheeky Kid,

I always start out to write just a short post and then tend to run off at the keyboard. <vbg> I agree, it is a hassle to use ones wordprocesor for online writing. My wordprocessor is DOS-based (WordPerfect), making it even more of chore.

I lurk over at the "Laughter" thread and sometimes even post there. I think I have seen the distaff version of this poem, and somehow I don't think it would take the place of your fav.

I too love technology and most of what it brings to us. I would be interested to hear what you think lies ahead with this fairly new and powerful medium--positive and negative. When you say that there are possibilities out there that we have not yet even dreamed of, try to let your imagination run and see what comes to your mind.

Holly

Cheeky, I thought this poem was so funny it should be reprinted in its entirety. Some of us skim these threads so fast that we don't always click on the url's, and I wouldn't want anyone to miss this one. Thanks!!!

MAN, I'M GLAD I'M A MAN, MAN

Everyday I give thanks to God
I was born a man instead of a woman
When Oprah comes on, I turn off the TV
I don't shave my legs, I stand up to pee
I go to a barber, not a beauty salon
Don't pluck out my eyebrows just to draw them back on
Don't wax my pubes so I can wear shorts
I use my turn signal, I understand sports

Man, I'm glad I'm a man, man
Tell you the reason I am
I don't go through a faze every 28 days
Man, I'm glad I'm a man

I pay cash at the grocery, no checks or coupons
Don't take a lot of friends when I go the john
I don't throw a fit when I break a nail
I don't buy a lot of shoes just because they're on sale
I don't apply makeup in my rear-view mirror
I don't think of Bambi when I'm out hunting deer

Man, I'm glad I'm a man, man
Tell you the reason I am
I don't face the pain of water-weight gain
Man, I'm glad I'm a man

Listen to me ladies
I love your pretty faces
Your warm and soft embraces
I don't spend a fortune on French lingerie
This is the same underwear I wore yesterday

Man, I'm glad I'm a man, man
And those were the reasons I am!
