May we borrow your husband tonight
To show him we mean no harm?
May we borrow your husband tonight
To show him he is not our type
And that we would much rather
Watch a game of football with him
And share a beer or two?
May we borrow your husband just for a day,
To teach him that we don’t give a damn?
May we borrow your husband just for a day,
To educate him on how to treat a lady?
To school him on the value of your existence
And the difference between you and a blow up doll?
Could you lend us your husband for a quick minute,
We forgot to remind him that you need him more than
He thinks we need him.
Please lend him to us so we can quench his curiosity
About, “Who is the woman in the relationship?”
And about our affinity for style and fashionable simplicity.
Please take a message for your husband,
And remind him not to forget the KY gel
He so recently keeps on his person “for chapped lips”.
We will be waiting for him at the cheap motel just out of town
On his way from his “‘business trip’ that just wouldn’t end!”.
We promise to stop borrowing your husband
Once he stops denying us in public by daylight
And groping us after Nine.
We are not immune to affection.
We just have an affinity for an embrace that says,
“Maybe this one will stay and not be choked by the
Incessant testosterone din of mindless men who
Have written the rules of love”.
But we do promise to deliver him to your doorstep by Nine Fifty-Five PM.

Frank…beautiful words my brother. What a day when men can be men no matter what their choices or orientations, when we can just enjoy the person for the person by looking beyond stereotypes, ideologies, borders, boundaries and all our other man-made nonsense.
Keep writing, keep sharing.
