Ms. Editor Savaged by Mr. Author
by
Donal Mahoney

It is a different society now.
Less respect for people at either end
and folks in the middle as well.

People no longer are treated like linen.
Too often like Kleenex used and tossed.
Since it’s a man who’s sending those emails,

don't bother taking any offense.
We men are often not too nice to women
standing up although we can be sweet

as honey when wanting them supine.
You have a fine magazine but need
thicker armor over your sensibilities.

In my world, you’re young and while
I’d never applaud the benefits of age,
it has at least one that’s valuable.

When you’re near the top of the hill
it's easier to laugh at the louts below
whizzing darts past your keister.
