The Joeys men are

Men are, men are, men are,

men are strong

men are tough

men are surly, men are rough

men are mates

men drink beer

men are brave and don’t show fear

men slap backs

men sing songs

men are men and men are strong

men don’t touch

men aren’t drips

men shake hands with vice-like grips.

men like fighting

men like cars

men like shouting with men in bars

men like football

and now and then

men like men like men like men

no they don’t

men beat up queers

men live with their mums for year and years

men have beards

and hairy chests

men walk through blizzards in string vests.

men can embrace

and bare their soul

but only if they’ve scored a goal

men leap tall buildings

men are tough

men don’t know when they’ve had enough

men drive fast cars with wide wheels

men have muscles

men have sweat

men wear trousers

men have flies

men kick sand in each other’s eyes

men stand alone

men show no fears

men have hobbies and hairy ears

men have willies

men have bums

men are good at science and sums

men aren’t loving

men don’t dance

men don’t change their underpants.

men climb mountains

in the snow

men don’t cook and men don’t sew

men are bosses

men are chums

men build office blocks and slums

men make bombs

men make war

men are stupid, men are bores

men ignore

what women see

and call our story history.

(The Joeys men are)

The last line is the hook.

Are you the initial author...pre your extending the offer to collaborate with bloggers who comment lines to add?

I don't remember why I wrote this 10 years ago (when I was 15!) but I just found it again and thought I should reply to your post (if you even see this!)

Women Are:

Women are, women are, women are.

Women are smart

women are clever

women are strong and certainly better.

Women are girly

women love to shop

women can shop, but don't know how to stop

Women are posh

women are chavs

women giggle and have funny laughs

women are passionate

women are pure

women love beauty and are too darn sure

Women will cry

just cos they want

women are extra and very adamant

women are squirmy

women are scared

women are humorous and just plain weird

women have girlfriends

women love boys

sometimes they treat them just like toys

women like kisses

women love hugs

but they are surely scared of bugs

When they see a spider

women will scream, "Eeek!"

Women hate guys who are total geeks

When PMS starts

women will tear you apart

But don't mind that, it's not from the heart.
