Perilous Tendency

What is it about guys and poetry?? I have been noticing that several guys around me have a tendency to every so often write poetry!?!? I really don't understand this because when the topic is brought up.... no guy wants to talk about his "feelings". Now make no mistake, I've been through (high school) literature and received a basic understanding of poems and poetry and all that jazz to make one "well rounded".... and I do see that some of it can be very insiteful and very descriptive and beautiful. But through it all.... I just believe real men don't write poetry.

However, I have gone on a search for male poets.... to see if there be any worthy of the Y chromosome...... and yay I found one...... one who I believe has quite a talent!! So without further hesitancy, here he is..... tell me what you think!!

Eight Thousand Metres Up
Eight thousand metres up, the plane is falling from the sky,
Both engines have failed and they are all about to die

The passengers are desperate, the pilot's in a panic
A young woman leaps up at last, her voice is clearly frantic

She rips off her shirt and shouts to all the passengers and crew
'Someone! Make a woman of me! Any man will do!'

A bloke three rows back sees his chance - is this his dying wish?
He rips his shirt off, flings it at her and says 'Here! Iron this!'
