The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

What DO they look like?
These Popeye wannabes!
Olive at their side,
Rubbing in oil on muscles-
Atop of muscles.
The one between their ears
Rattles,
Neglected, unlettered.

Love it! I hate those kind of men, although I did go through a phase of only dating rugby players in my early twenties but I think that is a little different.

I'm kind of the same, although I still tend to date footballers and baseball players. I like muscle, and brawn, and you just don't get that kind of thing with guys that just use their brains. Nice poem though.

I grew up and married a violinist though!

Well, I guess some poetry writing guy might win me over, and there are plenty on here. Although I do tend to go by their avatar!

I read it as a muscle-building woman. Must have been the olive reference. I guess it could apply to both.

As to Popeye: one of the world's most overlooked philosophers. "I yam whay I yam an that's all what I yam!"

You probably presumed that from the title, Redvilst .

Ah, of course.
