ONLY HUMAN

ONLY HUMAN

Lost in thought, the sage,
revered and respected by all,
scratches his bum.

Enthroned, embarrassed:
the hostess of an Ideal Home
with no toilet roll.

A spider in the bath:
The brave ex-marine sees, says
“After you, my dear”

Crowned and excited
Miss U.S. Virgin phones home:
kids are delighted

The noted misogynist,
alone in his penthouse pad
adjusts his new bra

‘Overdone it a little!’
the spotlit supermodel decides,
searching for a shadow.

After mocking laughter
Casanova creeps home to add
Viagra to his shopping list.

Failed writer, eyes a-glint,
makes a poem from phrases snipped
from old rejection slips

The noted misogynist, alone in his penthouse pad adjusts his new bra you had me rolling on the floor with this verse. And the rest are just as good. Respectfully Jim "Laws and rules don't kill freedom: narrow-minded intolerance does" : Race
