Foolish Pride

What frail creatures we men are

made from sinew, muscle and pride

Thinking we can conquer the world

for the woman who sits by our side

All is brash, gall and bravado

with such a carefree debonair

Taunting those who test our mettle

intimidating all who dare

A young man thinks himself gifted

to hold sway and folly so near

Injure his pride and you will find

that he becomes someone to fear

A man is nothing without pride

it is the food that feeds his soul

Desired respect of fellows

becomes his sole life’s aim and goal

The handsome woman of his dreams

is she that realizes this flaw

Playing to his strength and weakness

by pretending she never saw

To that woman he grants comfort

strong arms forever hold her tight

Their truth of heart is not broken

whenever she is out of sight

The reason men are unfaithful

they behave only by your side

Has little to do with temperand

And everything to do with pride

If you wish for a happy home

a man who's strait forward and true

Just play host to his foolish pride

and he will be loyal to you
