The Man Cold

Writer's picture: Charles Joseph AlbertCharles Joseph Albert

When his wife Louise told me

Barry had a “man cold“

I didn’t need her to explain

because the prefix "Man"

is never a good thing.


Doesn't "man cave " sound

just a tad pejorative?

It’s like a man-zier. Or, bro-mance.

Go on, make one up: "Man Topia."

Not good, whatever it is.


I’m going out on a limb, here:

All those dopey TV dads—

Married With Children, Archie Bunker…

Even Huggies commercials

Have made mockery of the male.


Sure, it was all in fun,

decades ago. Mock the oppressor!

But now that we’re all riding coach

isn’t that kind of thinking simply

chick-topian?
