IT IS AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK

IT IS AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK

It is an impossible task

To keep a woman happy

Though we men

Do all that we can

To fulfill their every

Need and desire

But no matter

How hard we try

To fill their

Bottomless pits

A man has

Only so much of himself

That he can give

And once he has utterly

Poured himself out

His strength and virility spent

She puts him out to pasture

If he is lucky

Or to a lunatic bin

If he is not
