I guess there’s something to be said For the lovin’ of the poetic man. Reciting lines of verse through the night … (I hope he can keep my attention span!) And the philosopher’s conversations Surely offer challenges to my mind, Providing intellectual stimulation, Instead of the more exciting physical kind. BUT, I gotta say: There’s something about a mechanic Coveralls clinging to his chest so tight. Large, calloused hands grip his tools. He revs my engine full speed to utter delight. There’s something about a cowboy With his “yes ma’am’s” and gentle, mannerly way With his wranglers hugging his butt Next best thing to lovin’ him is watching him walk away. There’s something about a man in a hard hat Climbing on girders up on the high rise I want to run my hands all over his beams Watching his building erection arise. There’s something about a man on a Harley That makes my eagle scream. He’s the kind of man I want to straddle For a ride that’s a V-Rod supreme. There’s something about a soldier man His starched uniform gets honorable mention. I want to wrinkle his creases until All the right parts are standing at attention. Yes, I appreciate the scholarly man And the lovely words of the poetic type But when it comes to good, hard lovin’ I want more action and much less hype!

I think for a lot of men, writing something like this about women wouldn't take as many stanzas, but maybe that's just me. I loved your last stanza, great stuff!
Cheers,
Tim

Haha, deligthful read, Leysa!! :) You touch on a subject I was recently thinking about, thinking I wouldn't mind a poem or two from my husband, but that's more when he's not around, and I've been reading here or there the testimonials of words to the women they love, then he comes home, dirtied from head to toe, and smiles at me...and I realize, time and again, there's nothing more poetic than that!!
