I Think Your Ladder is SEXY

Sure I love a man in a suit
all slickered and suave
smelling of soap and cologne
so untouchable and tempting.
But then you have the man with the Ladder.
You know -  the guy in the ripped jeans
and the flannel shirt.
He smells of testosterone and Brut.
He climbs that ladder like a gazelle
and his hand always has a hammer,
shovel, or saw in it.
Those muscular thighs
climbing up and down that ladder
and those bulging biceps bearing the brunt
of all  those invasive tools.
His thick neck pulsates with power.
He's covered with dirt and sweat
as he wipes his brow with his sleeve.
When the day draws hotter
and the sun begins to beat on his bronzed skin -
he tears off his shirt
exposing his bare bulging chest.
I quiver at the thought..
He's busy
Tearing off roofs,
pounding down nails,
pouring out concrete,
laying down lime,
lifting bricks and blocks,
brandishing chain saws,
twisting iron and metal,
Ooohhh the torment of such strenght and power -
His body so agile and lythe -
Just watching a pickup truck plowing down the highway
seeing the ladder strapped to the cab
makes me painfully aware of how female I am
and how sexy a Ladder can be.
