I Want To Be The Man In The Relationship Poem by Elena Plotkin

It is the expression of love and the life events that expects and made a good poem.

“I want to be the man in the relationship, I am sure you can under-stand. I want to be the girl” is that anything like “I want to have my cake AND eat it too.” ? I’m glad I kept reading. Before long I caught your meaning of “be the man”. ====================== I almost laughed here; it was a very weak attempt. I think, deep down, I felt too guilty (as a “man”) to laugh; besides, You-Know-Who might have heard me and asked questions! : “I want to be the one, who swears up and down, that you're the only man I need, that there's nothing going on and who are you going to believe.” …………. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - “under-stand” …………… hmmm? might you be SUGGESTING that a man would NOT understand? that a man is incapable of seeing the woman’s side. WHERE did you get a crazy idea like THAT! ? ? OH, that’s right; you ARE a woman. hee-hee. very entertaining! now, BACK TO THE KITCHEN, Elena! (barefoot and pregnant: the woman’s life) great use of ‘repetition’. to MyPoemList. Maybe, after I have my sex-change, I’ll appreciate it even more. bri :)

: o)))))) very good and very funny although sad in its own way too..... Never let a man know just how much you adore them, it gives you the edge ;)

OOPS! I MANAGED TO SAY BELOW THAT I'D PUT THIS INTO OCTOBER'S SHOWCASE AND THEN I FAILED TO DO IT! ! THIS ALSO HAPPENED WITH SOME OTHER POEMS WHICH I'D 'MISPLACED' AND LEFT OUT. BUT NOW I PLAN TO USE THIS IN DECEMBER'S SHOWCASE, OR maybe, i'll sneak them into November's, which was meant for just poems from the indian subcontinent'! ! well, I AM THE BOSS OF THE SHOWCASES, SO I'LL DO AS I PLEASE! ! ! HA HA. BRI :)

ha ha. i fooled myself AND PH by adding a sentence to my comment and submitting it successfully, not remembering that i'd already sent all the rest of the comment already. :) bri

Elena, i'm picking poems (what else? !) from MyPoemList to put into the October showcase. i was not sure today until i'd reread the poem twice, AND read my previous comments. yes, not sure, i was, whether to use it or not! ! it could confuse readers, like ME, due to you switching 'gender roles' the way you've done. it is a little too 'intellectual' for Bri, without Bri toiling a bit over its meaning. I'll add a Bri's Notes in showcase. I'M USING IT! ! tHANKS. BRI :)
