A Poem a Day (752): Whore (#metoo)

This is a poem I wrote about misogyny on 15 September 2019. I did a search on this blog, but can't find it, so here goes. Just as relevant now as then. #metoo

Whore
 
He’s a whore.
He’s a slut.
He’s a tart.
What a skank.
 
What is he wearing?
That skirt is too short.
 
He’s too old to wear that.
He’s too ugly to wear that.
 
Ha ha ha!
 
His boobs are too big.
He’s as flat as a pancake.
 
His butt looks huge in that.
He has no butt.
 
He’s celibate.
He’s fucking the world.
 
Ha ha ha!
 
He’s not interested in me
so he must be gay.
He needs taken down a peg or two.
 
He’s slept with 10 women,
20, 30, 40, 50, I’ve lost count.
He’s got a graveyard of exes.
 
He’s so popular.
He’s so unpopular.
He’s got no balls.
He’s got too many balls.
 
Ha ha ha!
 
Look what he’s wearing.
He asked for it,
he’s wearing a thong,
So it isn’t rape.
He’s a whore.
He’s a skank.
 
Ha ha ha!
 
What’s so funny?
It isn’t funny.
 
And, of course, no one speaks
about guys this way.
