What Do Men And Women Want? Poem by Lonnie Hicks

She said:
'I want you to tell me that you can't live without me
that you love me;
that my body excites you
that you'll never forget our anniversary
or my birthday
that you appreciate how I gave up my body
to have your kids
that you want to re-affirm out wedding vows.'

He said:
I want you to tell me that I can make you open to me
and excite you sexually
that I am the only one for you
that I make you feel secure
that I am your hero
and the only one you need.

She said
'I want you to cuddle me before and after sex
give me massages
kiss me
give me flowers for no reason
sent to work;
that you love the kids
want to take out the garbage
and help in the kitchen.'

He said:
'I want to feel that I am the most important thing in your life
and that you want to make love every night
than you will do whatever in bed I want you to
and you'll learn to like it
whether you are tired or not.
That I am more important than you mother or your friends'

She said
'You have been watching too much tv.'

He said
'So have you'

And they both rolled over
watched TV awhile
and
went to sleep.
