Mistletoe( may offend dirty old men)
By punchy
27 November 2007

mistletoe ascending
 run for your lives
here come the men
 and their unhappy wives
 scarper, vacate
 run for the door
they won't get the message
  don't glare or ignore

As far as they see
 every woman and skirt
Is a target for slobber
 a roll in the dirt
Groping and winking
and one eyebrow raised
If one girl impressed
I'd be truly amazed

If they tell you a joke
For Gods sake don't laugh
For them that's a signal
for grabbing your arse
Don't get me wrong
It's not that I'm prude
I just can't bare men
When I dance in the nude

Kiss

I hope the spelling of "I can't bare men" was deliberate here punchy, cos if you did bare them they'd be nude too.
oops

I'd like to pretend it was deliberate but no my spelling again. Will leave it though , I like what you said.

This is a bit of fun! And if you'll excuse the pun...I love the tongue and cheek quality of it!

Now, now... Somehow women sometimes seem to have the arrogance as to think that men are actually interested in them for being women ;)  
Don't know about other men, but I can't be attracted to more than one woman at the same time (which is very inconvenient, since after a breakup or rejection it takes a long time to get a crush again). 
Could be the result of having a number of pretty female friends, and hence not being overly impressed by the other sex... 
 
Don't know if I should be happy or sad about that :?  
 
Yet it's an enjoyable poem which does describe the way many women seem to perceive men's attitude towards them.
