enter the mancave

here's where
da wars are won
where da bets are placed
and da deeds get done
ya won't find one
single inch o' chintz
this room's not fit
for even the toughest
o' prints
what ya will find
are us bravehearts
of ev'ry stripe
thinkin' sharp thoughts
and passing da pipe
this be a place
for burpin' and scratchin'
and fer speakin' freely
without mindin' da hatchlin's
we hunker on down
and we gets da world beat
and den we go an'
gets us somethin' ta eat

    I wish I had da man cave. I have a man chair... sometimes. A man's side of the closet I suppose. Only so much you can do with 1500 square feet, six people and two dogs.

    Cheers,

    Casey

    Universal to the male pack mentality, regardless of lifestyle or SES! Hilariously accurate.

    You know, I read the poem before I read the title. Yet I knew that Mancave had to be included in the title somehow, even before I read it! I'm a sucker for a well-chosen title, and a sucker for aptly chosen, well woven words. Nicely done!!!

    Difficult not to trip over the machismo, here. Good one.

    Ahh, Mancaves...where men can hide from their wives for hours on end and drink beer and get greasy and like play with tools and stuff, while dreaming up new projects which cannot be started until more tools are bought. ツ

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
