GUYS I KNOW

Guys I know
Like their ego stroked
Like their space was built
To accommodate their ever growing balloon heads.
I always wished I was made of pins
So I could burst that balloon
If their ego ever grew towards me.

Girls I know
Like their pride unscathed
Like if they were walking around
With mucus on their skirts
They would prefer that you do not tell them
Else they brand you a hater.

Guys I know
Speak with funny accents
And walk with funny steps
To impress the onlooking me
Instead of impressing their mums at home
And being 'heroes' to their sisters
God forbid they pick up a dirty dish!

Girls I know
Love to sit in front
With their short skirt and bleached skin
To impress him when he looks
Instead of learning to be polite to strangers
And be 'heroines' of humanity
God forbid they move about without fake lashes.

Guys I know
Have lots of money
If only they could carry the sacks around
To show those who cared to know
Except the local Police...
Heavens forbid if they went back to build their father a house
Or buy "her" a 24 karat ring.

Girls I know
Walk like we are the peasants
But I only find patches in their domain
Tripping over that 3 inch heel
Like girl...just be you!
After all, we were born without shoes
And taking none to the grave.

Guys I know
Have bad eating habits
When I hear them, I hear goats chewing
But they swear to the girl across them
That they eat like a king with manners
Only that a King would eat
With more dignity...not rushing and munching
Like a starved animal avoiding death day.

Girls I know
Would step into a room
Sit at the table facing you
Stare at you, shift uncomfortably in their sits
Make a noise
And be depressed when they are not the star of the occasion
Problem is, there is no occasion requiring their presence.

Guys I know
Won't marry you if you can't cook
It does not matter
If you own a degree, a car, a house, a company
You see, they need you
They don't know if the egg is boiled properly
Or if the salt is okay
Else we keep having appointments
With the 'white man' down the hall...

Check your mind mate!
You think you know them?
I think I know you.
