“When the Life Preserver Goes Flat”

(Fun Ends)

Why is it sex and beer

a man’s idea of cheer?

Do their libido engines need a head start,

Or is that love‑stick just not that smart?

I know my thoughts are getting silly—

All because of one man’s little willy.

I can’t explain why sex and beer

Are the holy pair they hold so dear.

Just the thought of it brings a tear.

We women want the sex—forget the beer.

Who wants to be slobbered on anyway?

It takes the fun out, I say.

Besides, once the love‑stick’s done,

It shrivels.  There goes the fun.

Off to sleep go the man and his beer,

While we’re left giving a mean ole sneer.

For the job’s never complete with sex and beer;

It only leaves us women to shed a sad tear.

Author Note:

Ladies, if you know… you know. Gentlemen, if you don’t know… ask a woman you trust. She’ll explain it gently. Probably.

Special Author note:

No men were harmed in the making of this poem. A few egos may have been bruised, but they’ll recover after a nap and a cold beer.”
