A 40-Year-Old Man Makes Attempts At Flirting With High School Cheerleaders Poem by Adeline Morris

No, I am not
a feminist.
If I was,
do you honestly think
I would be swooning
over men for their
appearance and
nothing else?

Sometimes
when someone like him
rolls into my life,
it's difficult for me
to appreciate each
person passing through.

And you willfully express
'Those men in
Pakistan really know
how to keep their
women in place! '
to a clan of 10th grade
'Honors Government' students.

You are so high above us.
Your intelligence will
forever exceed ours.

But yes, I do find it humorous
that you, in your mid-years,
flaunt a Chicago Bears
jersey. Is it because
you never became what
you still aspire to be?
And, yet, you let us know
that our generation will
never get anything
important done.
