Handsome men wonder where my secret lies. <br />I'm not rock or built to mock an athlete’s size <br />But when I start to tell them, <br />They think I'm telling lies. <br />I say, <br />It's in the strut of my legs <br />The gaze of my eyes, <br />The stride of my step, <br />The tone of my thighs. <br />I'm a man <br />Exceptionally, <br />Exceptional man, <br />That's me..you si <br /> <br />I walk into a room <br />Just as suave as you dream, <br />And to a woman, <br />The ladies stand or <br />Melt like heated ice cream. <br />Then they swarm around me, <br />A hive of honey bees. <br />I say, <br />It's the steam in my voice, <br />And the flash of my smile, <br />The aroma in my chest, <br />And the joy in my style. <br />I'm a man <br />Exceptionally, <br />Exceptional man, <br />That's me..you si <br /> <br /> <br />Women themselves have wondered <br />What they see in me. <br />They try much and most <br />But this man can’t boast <br />My inner mystery. <br />When I try to show them <br />They say they still can't see. <br />I say, <br />It's in the branch of my head, <br />The moon of my toes, <br />The ride of my shoulders, <br />The peace of my nose. <br />I'm a man <br />Exceptionally, <br />Exceptional man, <br />That's me..you si <br /> <br />Now you understand <br />Just why my heart’s not astray. <br />I don't shout or jump about <br />Or have to fear a stingray. <br />When you see me passing <br />It ought to make you proud. <br />I say, <br />It's in the pop of my knees, <br />The touch of my stare, <br />The depth of my soul, <br />The hugs of my care, <br />'Cause I'm a man <br />Exceptionally, <br />Exceptional man, <br />That's me..you si<br /><br />Timothy Brashear<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/exceptional-man-spinoff-of-maya-angelou-phenomenal-woman/
