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?
