Mike: Your poetry is going downhill. (Or is that your sense of humor?)

Men don't. A woman has a vagina. Men don't. A woman has a uterus. Men don't. A woman has ovaries. Men don't. A woman has milk-producing breasts. Men don't. It's hard for a man to be a mother. Also men have the attention span of a man, not enough to be a mother. Also men don't have the imagination to wonder why a kid is screaming. Also men don't have the patience not to kill a kid that's screaming. Also men tend to be mother-fuckers. That alone disqualifies them. Mike Geary Memphis
