Tables Turned

47

By Randy Behavior

This poem was inspired by Mighty Mom's comment on my I Hunger hub.  She said, "the hunter becomes the hunted, the thrill is in the chase, and all that usual male as pursuer stuff turned right back at them."

I realize not all men are such predators, so don't get your hackles up.  But for those that are, this poem is for you.


Next time I will be like a man

Prowling for a delicious form

I will shove my emotions  

Firmly in my back pocket

And lead with my hormones

My heart bound and locked

I will track the pheromones

And pounce on the  sleekest of the pack

Then stand proudly over my kill

Devouring you until I’ve had my fill

I will please you then I will leave you

At the inkling of complication 

With no remorse or reservation

For it was always about the hunt

Never about the prey

Oh RB, not only do I approve, I think this is fab! I think my favorite line is "

I will shove my emotions

Firmly in my back pocket

And lead with my hormones"

How like a man to utilize a back pocket instead of your purse:-). And I suppose leading with our hormones is the closest we'll ever get to thinking with our "little head" eh? But the sentiment is obviously there- you certainly freaked poor Christoph out:-). Thumbs up. You go!

Thanks for the inspiration MM. I'm glad you like it and approve, now I can go to bed... alone. But hey, tomorrow is a new day and a new hunt.

To a woman, used up and left is usually a bad thing PM. If it works for you as the victim, then great!

Thanks for coming by for a read Hawks!

couldn't help myself.  I am sure that many a male would love to have you pounce upon them, even if but for a night. 

To use my new favorite idiom,

What a bonbon and me with diabetes!

I do understand what you are saying though and couldn't agree with you more.

I'm on the hunt today.. should prove interesting!! I have my "stealth-suit" on!!

Randy Behavior Hub Author 2 years ago

I on the other hand PM, don't have diabetes, but I don't have a bonbon either.  Damn it.

Happy hunting CV. What's your stealth suit look like?

Lemme see....it was Candie's Birthday Thursday...so I'm guessing her stealth suit looks a lot like her "Birthday Suit"

Just wanted to remind you that men and women are different for a reason.....and Viva la difference. I think you should become more of a hunter.

Randy Behavior Hub Author 2 years ago

Ya think so Blue? And ignore those who try to capture me? Perhaps I'll give it a try.

You can slow down and get caught occasionally too.
