When man’s-man men find womankind
especially spectacular,
it often seems their taste’s opined
as front-ular or back-ular,
and chicks who eye them back with leers
and rudeness too vernacular,
also choose looks, though dudes’ hearts bite
as badly as though Dracula-r.
How can they stand their standards thus
and stoop to stupid gravity
that pulls them down to lower lows
of foolishness, depravity
and such devotion to slick looks
that any cranial cavity‘s
acceptable, as long as ‘hot’
and needs no jot of suavity?
Must we accept only the slinky,
cute, or babe-a-licious?
Such flimsy taste is quite a waste,
and creepingly pernicious
when all the future of mankind
becomes so superstitious
as to attach to looks and limbs
values so shallow? Vicious!

Indeed. So true . . . or is it . . . maybe . . . I’m sure not . . . well, probably. 😉
I noticed that you left out the top-ular and the bottom-ular! Well, one can’t get everything into a poem. Seriously, it was great, pointing out the superficial that is the only level many get to.
I suppose there *may* be instances when staying at the superficial level is preferable to what we’d encounter behind that facade, in which case I’d hope at least the top-ular and bottom-ular features are worthy of the attention. 🙂 But mostly, it’s so much more exciting and pleasant to find out there’s something worthwhile beyond the visible.
You’ve been hanging around the Student Union, observing the Mating Rituals of Texas Undergrads, haven’t you? 😉
Hahahahahaha! Caught me.
I love the way you write – you have a real way with words.
Well, clearly you have excellent taste, Sir! 😉 It happens that one of the reasons I so enjoy lounging around at ‘your place’ is your use of words, too, even if the great visual imagery is what first snagged my attention. 🙂
Brilliant – wittily brilliant!
Thank you, Tanya, you flatter me–and I do like that, as you know! 🙂
As always….. Another great story!
I must say, it’s nice to be among friends who seem to enjoy my silliness as much as I do. 🙂 Thanks, Nors!
Am searching for a man for a plump little teacher
With no success for even fat ones won’t meet her
They have the gall to suggest tall, thin blond ones are best
So this shy little teacher remains our unmated guest
She’s young, bright, never married and energetic
And has read 1,000 books that make her charasmatic
“Such flimsy taste is quite a waste” and you said it, KI. Nice art work…
A plump, shy little teacher is almost guaranteed to be more fun to be around than a whole roomful of blonde supermodels, and frankly, I’m a little creeped out (the technical term, of course) by the thinness that is considered beautiful by many and would FAR rather see some people with variety, curves, roundness and other forms of beauty more often. Meanwhile, being a well-read person, along with being a teacher, means she has intelligence, survival skills, wide-ranging interests, and probably a good bit of biting wit hiding behind that shy curtain. Heck, *I’d* date her if I weren’t an ol’ happily married lady. 🙂
Love that…very clever. 🙂
😀 Glad you like!
“Vernacular” & “Dracula-r”, were, all by their lonesome, worth the price of admission. 🙂
Would it be pushing it too far to say I’m a sucker for vampires?
Tooth-ay.
