The Ideal Man The ideal man, according to me, Is as confident & comfortable as can be... The ideal man, according to me, Is as confident and comfortable as can be He could be short or could be tall, Height doesn’t matter much at all. His body is exercised and muscular About fitness, he’s quite particular He wears clothes of any kind As long as they appeal to his mind. He works with concern and concentration His aim in anything is only perfection He works so his family is comfortable His money position is always stable. He isn’t afraid to share his emotions, His joys, his dreams and jubilations, He doesn’t feel the need to hide his tears He doesn’t hesitate to show his fears. At home he helps around the place, Changes nappies or washes baby’s face He helps to cook for he can tell, Evenings find his wife tired as well He isn’t one to be afraid That his “manhood” will come under raid By his performing all these tasks. He doesn’t need to hide under masks. He’s so sure of himself, you see He needs no validation from anybody. He can be himself, he needn’t boast He knows what’s inside is what matters most The people around him are in constant surprise By the ways he finds to light up their eyes He’s the best father, brother and friend, He’s the perfect husband right till the end! Alas such ideal men are rare Most of the time we have to bear With those who need to “guard” their manhood Lest it be lost to them for good! Seldom do these “men” realize The world can see through all their lies In desperation, all their women Turn out to be much better “men” !

What stayed with you?

A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
