In a man's world,
you are to be strong.
In control.
As a man,
that is your job.
You do not cry.
You keep your emotions hid,
and you do not write them down.
You are dominate,
always.
"Man of the house"
"The man in her life"
"Big man on campus"
You wear the pants in the family,
you call the shots.
You play football,
never dance.
Bass, not piano.
In charge you stand.
You get called when there is an intruder,
but you always,
always,
bring a bat.

It is hard
     to catch a glass
