Monday is Musk
He smiles in the mirror.
Tuesday is Brut.
He won’t ask for help.
Wednesday is Undeniable.
He wears steel-toed boots.
Thursday is no-name Avon.
He’s wearing down.
Friday is Sex Appeal.
He looks toward the night.
Saturday is Wild Country.
He wishes himself elsewhere.
He’s worked his tendons into knots;
his way through every bottle.
I try to throw things out on clean-the-cupboard day.
Sundays he sits, soaped and robed.
April is poetry month and I wanted to start the week off with an ode to men. We love them, even when we hate them. We couldn't live without them. Here's to all the men in our lives.

Funny, my husband, daughter and I had a conversation about aftershave last night. My husband hasn't worn it in years. I told my daughter I am glad. I like the smell of him.
We couldn't live without you women folks either.
Well, we could, but wouldn't want to.
Oh Jeeze, I hate cologne, aftershave, all that jazz. I agree with Liza. Plain old man smell is best. Why mess with it?
love cologne, will follow a man with the right scent...just discovered your sight and signed up to follow! thanks, angel-star
Oh, I love the second-last stanza.
And cologne... oh yes! Give me a little Hugo Boss any day.
Wow. That is great. :)
Liza
I agree with you. Actually, my husband seldom wears cologne anymore.
Travener,
Yes we could....barely. Thanks!
W&W
Right. Nothing better than plain man smell!

I don't hate men. Love em :). And I like soap, and robe, man in the mirror...
Hi Amy!
I love men soaped and robed.
I better stop before I get nicked for being x-rated or something!
On behalf of all the men in the universe...Thank ye.
