As I See It by Christine Stromberg - HTML preview

Man Isn't Monogamous.

A lot of them fancy a bit on the side;

I've seen it again and again.

Their marriage is awful, or so they confide.

So many miserable men!

But who wants to live like a virtual slave?

They must like their harrowing lives.

Perhaps its the sense of adventure they crave

as they cheat on their power-wielding wives.

For none of them actually want to leave home;

an interlude only, no doubt.

And then there are those who admit that they roam

and boast that they spread it about.

Some have their reasons: ill health or old age,

or a wife who has gone off the boil;

they're left with a hunger they cannot assuage

and a fear that their tackle will spoil.

The birds and the beasts have a similar life

for most are unfaithful it seems.

The trouble occurs when a man takes a wife

for she's rarely the girl of his dreams.

Those vows are the problem, the promise to stay,

the bit about "death do us part".

Man isn't monogamous; "I'll never stray" 

was never engraved on his heart.

Testosterone driven, they scatter their seeds;

make hay while the sun is on high.

Of course, there are women with similar needs;

we just find it harder to lie.
