Tarzan and Jane

                               Tarzan and Jane

You seem to think ,

That I am your possession,

Not a person ,a belonging,

To lay claim to ,

While you pound your chest,

And mark your territory.

Like a cave man ,

"Me Tarzan ,you Jane "

Come ride on my vine ,

'Peel my banana,

and stick it in your mouth."

I have had it with bananas.

Stomping around proclaiming your worth,

I'm standing here wondering,

Really? what is your worth?

Mister "I fought a Bengal tiger",

When in fact you were hiding 

In the bushes whispering "is it gone ?"

Far be it for me,to rain on your parade,

So here I am nodding like an idiot,

While you look at me, 

To confirm your manliness,

And here I am rolling my eyes

And doing the same thing again tomorrow .

When in fact you were hiding
In the bushes whispering "is it gone ?"

Far be it for me,to rain on your parade,
So here I am nodding like an idiot,

Lmao....oh I love this!!!! Priceless rant on the men who see themselves as tarzan while acting like a scaredy cat. Personally I dont need a hero or protector. Just a man tough enough to deal with my s**t! Haha...
