The Importance of Not Being Earnest – Day IX – NaPoWriMo 2014

Don’t underestimate the power of bullshit
When stress and angst are in sight
It helps relieve the pent up tension
And keep the spirits light

Women troubles (or lack thereof)
Are entertaining talk
And help drown out the nagging
And persistent, incessant squawks

Boys will be boys they say
And it’s true in fact and fiction
‘Coz men take the world too seriously
And cause too much friction

So we laugh while we can
And we pull legs and pranks
We berate and pester (all with love)
And we also give thanks

That we have not yet grown up
At least not all the way
Some day we may lose the bullshit
But it won’t be today!
