What is a man?
Is a man a man that asks “What is a Man?”?
I pondered on this for many hours, concluding that only a man would ask this question (or a cruel woman).
Why is he asking this? Is he unsure of his manhood? Does he think he's better than other men? Is he really a woman posing as a man?
The answer to all of the above: Yes
Does a man eat walnuts and drink beer? Yes (Thank you William)
Does a man act like a 7 year old when he gets a new tool? Yes
Does a man help with the cooking? Probably not
Is that because he spends all day lounging in the sun wearing a tank top and levies? Yes
Does he help with house cleaning? Pretty sure not (see above)
Does he help with the dishes? (See above)
Does he snore at night: Yes
What is a man? Well obviously it’s Len Maxwell.

Unsure of manhood, better than other men, woman posing as a man -- a resounding NO to each.
The walnuts and beer -- not for me. Maybe that’s a British or Canadian thing, but I’d rather have peanuts with my beer and, preferably, in a bar where I can drop the shells on the floor.
Help with the cooking? Don’t even try to walk into my kitchen when I’m cooking -- unless it’s to get me another beer.
House cleaning and dishes. Mmm, don’t do a lot of house cleaning and, when I cook, you’re washing dishes. If you cook, I’ll wash dishes.
I loved it! Thank you for taking the SatWE challenge in such a neat way.
I hate to cook so I'll do the dishes.
Glad you like it - you cajoled me into it.
Last week Dr. Oz had Steve Harvey on his show discussing this similar subject. Steve Harvey was giving us some very personal insights into who a man is. He (Steve Harvey) has written a book “Act like a Lady, Think like a Man: what men really think aboutâ€.
It puts into words what I have known for years (click here for a quick peek at that Dr. Oz show). Normal men are sexual beings and any woman who hasn’t figured this out just may have a difficult time keeping a “happy manâ€. Once it’s accepted that a man’s life revolves around their zippers then you have the secret to getting them to “want to†take out the trash. He didn’t offer in help in his book on how to get the man to quit snoring, LOL!
I'll just have to go over and read the prompt and your story and see what's going on. I think Len may have ventured into "I'm gonna get even territory"...I'll go and check.
Not worried about the next prompt though. I already know what it's gonna be and already have it written in my head.
I hope you write a thing about what are men.
But, honey - it's cold outside.
helps with dishes and chores
perfect for me even with the few flaws
he hogs the remote and blankets
snores like a buzz saw
but he is mne
Of me fitting in
Oh my, the is a sacrebleu moment
For what will Tracy think
Her eye might cause many to buy
Voodoo dolls of my bartlet pear image
And stick needles in them
I like accupuncture and find
This rather healthy.
As for men who don't like to cook or won't do housework? Apparently, I come from a strange family. My husband, Dad, four brothers and a sister all love to cook and all will do whatever housework is needed. Me? I'm the odd woman out. I hate doing both, but will clean for a good meal, and since hubby likes making good meals...well, we split who cleans up afterward. lol
