To Some What It Takes

To some what it takes for to be a real man
Is to be young and handsome and daring and full of elan
And manly and wealthy broad shouldered and tall
The type some women dream of though some are not all
Though kindness and caring and compassion never taken into account
To some people such things to nothing does amount
Their real man must be macho as macho can be
Without any sign in him of humility
He must not be an artist, a ballet dancer, fashion designer or poet
To them such males as real men are not worthy of note
That they are entitled to their views on manhood does seem fair to say
Though everyone does not see things in their way
To some even in the one physically small yet caring and kind
You need not look further the real man you will find.
