Array ( [sid] => 166602 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => It's fun to be a boy! [time] => 2011-06-22 09:21:42 [hometext] => A not entirely politically correct poem in praise of boyhood [bodytext] => The words can be sung to the tune of ‘Oh Susanna’

It’s always fun to be a boy and here’s some reasons why.
We don’t need to wear dresses or kiss our friends goodbye.
No need for painted fingernails or fancy underwear.
Or spend an hour every day fussing with our hair.
Though we can annoy, and sometimes we destroy,
All the things that we enjoy, but it’s fun to be a boy

And when we’re playing football, or we’re wrestling in the mud.
We use our sleeves to wipe our nose and soak up any blood.
We wear our sneakers every day that’s why they always stink.
We never have to wear a bra or anything in pink.
Though we can annoy, and sometimes we destroy,
All the things that we enjoy, but it’s fun to be a boy

So why not join our secret gang, doing things that boys must do
We don’t have any special rules well maybe one or two.
If your caught wearing make-up, or trying out hairspray,
Then when we have a sleep-over you won’t be asked to stay.
Though we can annoy, and sometimes we destroy,
All the things that we enjoy, but it’s fun to be a boy

It’s always fun to be a boy, and we love to misbehave.
Not ready to be grown up or old enough to shave.
But if we smarten up a bit and try to make less noise.
Please dump that health and safety stuff and just let boys be boys,
Though we can annoy, and sometimes we destroy,
All the things that we enjoy, but it’s fun to be a boy.

Had to smile at this, even if as you say, some people mind not find this politically correct.
It was refreshing to read however, and that is never a bad thing.
Great work.
