It's not a manly thing to weep the manly man say so <br />But ignorance is bliss to him he still has far to go <br />He still has much to learn from life before he reach the stage <br />When he can say I've fully grown and I have come of age. <br /> <br />The manly man say if you weep you weep your tears alone <br />And in public places you must act as if your heart's of stone <br />Real men can't be reduced to tears the manly fellow say <br />To shed your tears whilst others watch is not the manly way. <br /> <br />The manly man say tears and such belong to womankind <br />And in every man that ever wept a woman's heart you'll find <br />Oh look at him he is a man he drink beer, play football <br />And he has never shed a tear not one he can recall. <br /> <br />The manly man down at the pub talk boxing with his mates <br />Mike Tyson and Jeff Fenech and other hard headed greats <br />These are real men they play it hard and take hard punch or two <br />The new age cissies on the increase and us manly men too few <br /> <br />The manly man is a real man and he scorn all men who grieve <br />And feelings a stranger to him if him you can believe <br />And tears have never reached his eyes his heart must be of stone <br />And he has never wept he say not even whilst alone.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-manly-man/
