He is a virile man because
he shoots bullets of testosterone
out of the end of his phallic symbol
to kill innocent things
and calls it sport.
Because he is virile,
he drives a fast penile projectile
pushing ahead of everybody
acting like an asshole, so he can be first,
at the stoplight.
To prove his virility
he has a big, mean dog,
his wife and children fear him,
as he watches barbaric sports,
and gets drunk.
He is a man’s man,
no matter his station in life.
He is greedy, takes what he wants
and damn any who get in his way.
He is a virile man and can prove it. . .
with his bottle of Viagra.
my rejoinder
I am a virile man
with four children, seven grandchildren
and forty some cats.
My virility is proven by
playing in the grass with the children,
crying at touching movies,
and a wife with no bruises.
It is not that I am slower than you
or don’t have desires and needs.
Don’t think I am weak, because I am meek.
I just refuse to act like an asshole,
and you can keep your Viagra.
I am a gentle man.

WOW
VERY true words. I loathe men who think they're "cool" because they mistreat women, or do "manly man" things, or impress other "men". It sickens me. WHat happened to chivalry? Living in a few men, I guess. I loved this poem, it really is true. You're really good at writing this subject.

You sum it up so well in those final words 'a gentle man' and you are that my friend

I LOVE this one Buddy!
Great contrast between the two types of men.
I think you should have "any who get in his way" - the "s" is unnecessary.
Absolute briliance!

I know the sting of those bruises all too well and to be declared a man at the end of that fist is digusting. I applaud the detail you've brought to light and the honesty with which it is written.

Thanks friend.

I certainly hope those bruises are no longer a part of your life.
Yeh well, good, bad or indifferent, the truth falls out of my mouth or keyboard in this case.
