Cigars are Sexist

I have never met a woman who would look good smoking a cigar.
Long, delicate fingers
soft from lotion made of rose petals
and smelling like unpronounceable fruits
do not wrap around a stogie
like it would a menthol slim,
and the thick ash of a celebratory
"It's a Boy!" would look odd to a newborn
enjoying his first meal.
