I don't want my long hair   pretty green eyes with   no I do not have on mascara   Eyelashes   Skinny figure   Undersized T-shirt      Hip   Shake   Too   Much   when I walk      Confuse anybody...      I am a Manly Man!      Within this sissy frame   obviously rib laden chest   lies a heart    that beats      to the drum of a    Native American ritual dancing   wildness      It pumps an evercascading supply of untamedness   that a herd of wild mustangs have yet to grasp.      If danger lurks about, I will seek it out.   If adventure abounds, there I will be found.   If a damsel be in distress      I will show her who is best.      I am a Manly Man!      Because I don't flush   and I leave the lid up.      I drive a nineteen    eighty-eight   Ford Pick-up truck.      Girls don't break up with me   I break up with them first!   (except the last time, it didn't really work out like that )      I don't shave the hair on my face   (because I still can't grow facial hair yet,but when I can    I won't.)      Because beards are tough.   I fart   burp   spit   when I want      Not caring who's nearby      Disrespect my momma   and I will punch you in the eye!      I am a Manly Man!      Or am I?      I tell my guy friends that I love them.   And sometimes,sometimes, I even hug them.   No because I'm not gay. But because I love em'.      When I watched Bambi   I cried.   When my mema gets mad   I still run and hide.      Like David I want to be a man after God's own heart.   I'm not there yet, but I'm past the start.      And when people talk   I try to listen   a spirit of compassion   That's my vision.   Surely I am a Manly Man   I want to be loved   and have love   and give Love.   (and not just that romantic kind either)      Although I am looking for that beauty   Not helpless   But wants to be rescued.   The Damsel in distress   Man   Woman   Myth   True.      I will fight for her.      Climb the highest tower for her      Love her.      Share with her.      Delight in her.      Be her warrior.      Her protector.      She will be my crown   and I will be hers.      My Masculinity will be passed down   and affirmed to my sons.      Each of my daughters will know they are lovely   and deserving of authentic romance.      Society tells me all day long      That I have defined manhood completely wrong.      But you ask any honest man and he will agree   You ask any honest woman and she too will see      That I am a Manly Man!
