... I guess it's just been one of those days... This fell straight out of my head on seeing a pop-up for a movie trailer. Of course, this is totally tongue-in-cheek (ooops... walked right into that one!) but it set me wondering, is this REALLY what it means to be emancipated??? ... :)) xx

THE MODERN GIRL’S BOYFRIEND
MEETS THE FOLKS
Mama, I’d like you to meet my brand new boy!
Yes, he’s a little different – too young, you say?
But surely not a Toy! Me, I’m a wee bit older,
more experienced, can teach him a thing or two.
But at least with him I can lead the way
and never be (too!) blue.
He has no rough edges and I can puff him up just fine.
He lets me pay the bills and in his presence shine.
He’s the (extra) strong and silent type, lets me have my say;
AND he’s always there for me at the end of a long, hard day.
I don’t cook for him, clean nor wash his shirts.
He don’t go out boozing or with his mates share my dirt.
Don’t worry, Daddy, he’s kind and won’t let me down.
If he can’t keep up with me, I’ll just smile,
let him be and never frown. I won’t come crying
if he never shares his views: I know that he loves me,
cos he ain’t never had to choose. He’s mine and
mine alone, ain’t never had no other flings or girls.
His wide, loving eyes gaze only at me, like pearls.
Thanks, Mom and Dad, for inviting us this weekend.
I’m so glad you’ve accepted my new boyfriend.
I’m sorry he don’t seem hungry for your
“meal to tempt a Groom!” I think we’re just tired from
the journey, need to get to our bedroom…

| Kate, this is reminiscent of my former brother-in-law's mother -- she drove around in her car with a blow up doll too, a man it was -- I recall his utter compliance to her every command -- as well as his personality of plastic -- a fine tongue-in-cheek piece -- peace and love -- Jon Michael |

| ... Yep, guess I was being even more opaque than usual... This is not an age-thing goin on here. The b/f's an inflatable, a male doll. I don't know the name of the film, but the still that inspired this poem was of a guy at the dinner table with his family, cutting up his blow-up doll's food for her with all the folks staring on! I found it a very striking image, obviously! K xx |

Kate,
This is quite a new side of your writing for me. I love the tongue and cheekiness of this. Sorta Cheeky, as you Brits say.
Just another boy toy well it is hard for a parent to swallow but what happens when the older mom has a younger boy in the eyes of her children? Sounds kinda exciting to me...I have had my day with the boy toy now I look for someone that shares my same light...
Much peace, love, and light to you sweet Kate :))

Kate,
This is very naughty and cheeky...and real! You didn't mention the chain around his neck or the embroidered chastity belt jockstrap, but then he doesn't need a jockstrap, does he? Just let him out and reel him in at leisure. Love it!

I love this Kate my sweet friend, I can hear a little tongue in cheek here but yea I have also seen the pendulum swing more and more that it is no longer just older men who are dating younger girls but the other way around as well. I have a daughter who is dating a "younger" man and as she herself says...he is easier to train. Hopefully though in time the world will come to realize that age is immaterial (as long as they are of legal age that is) when men and women find themselves attracted to each other. Great job Kate...

Sad commentary on modern society. How different from Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew"... He would probably roll over in his grave to hear this girl speak, or maybe he just saw the future and patterned his "shrew" (or xanthippe, thanks for teaching me that word, Karla!) after the modern day woman.
Me, I will stick with my hubby who talks and speaks all for himself... hee, hee...
