You’re a receptacle, Woman
You supposed to have no desires
And no lustful thoughts
Those make you bad,
Unworthy of your decent sisters
Don’t you know that?
Didn’t you have a modicum
Of proper upbringing?
Or were you trash—
Letting boys touch you all over
Even screw you?
Don’t go to bars, Woman
Don’t ride with bikers,
Scream with joy,
Date a different race,
Live in a trailer and other things
Like those, Woman
You know
Wild like
Don’t need any fingers to point
Chuck those jeans, Woman
That hideous polyester
Buy yourself some office clothes
Smart blouses for business
Pretty woolen skirts
Buy you some black pumps,
Brown pumps, beige pumps,
Sea-blue pumps
Look successful and feel it
Lie, cheat and steal, but
Look your role, dammit
Earn your pay
Receptacle. Means receive, Woman
Don’t forget it.
Don’t rock things, ya hear?
Boats and shit
Just don’t
Put…or…keep…those…crazy…ideas…
In…ya…little…head…

Yes, and there are some women that actually listen to men like that, good poem.

Well, this here could bring out the opinions, and I am guessing this is just why you have shared it. :-) Being of another race and prefering to not date within it --- God rest his soul, my father had a few things to say to me about what I should do with my life, with whom I should do it with and how I should present myself. You see, I am/was the rebel of the family - but even with all the wrong/questionable things that I may have/am still doing - I turned out just fine! So, I LOVE this right, I have lived it and am now looking back and laughing at my foolish father. But, I still enjoy the domination of a good man every now and again (if you catch my drift) :-) Thanks for sharing.

I could've sworn I posted a review on this piece before....anyway gave me a chance to read it again...hmm I don't think there's one thing i'd change, men and women are different for a reason and I love it just the way it is, we in our own little heads and they in thier own.....lol

I like this Randal and I want to see that picture of you posted in your suit and tie instead of relaxing in the sun taking life easy. I guess I am spoiled for I make my own decisions to what I wear and what I do with my life. However nice thoughts for a make-believe-world. Now for those blue jeans and cowboy boots, a time for prancing on the town. Night all. lol
Thanks Randal for sharing, Newfie Hugs, Rose

In return should men be rid of their cigars, sneakers, jeans, t-shirts and dress for success in suits, top hats, gold pocket watches? Naaa, like it the way it is, interesting write...

Be always safe,
Karen
