CRUISIN & LOSIN
We’re preparing for a function,
the reason doesn’t matter,
but I got myself in trouble
tiny cabin, no place to scatter.
Sweetie and I are on a cruise
to the Caymans and then Belize
and several other places
on the high and mighty seas.
She was getting dressed
while I was watching a little TV
She asked me a question
and I had to get up to see.
Looking in the mirror
her butt prominently displayed,
to the question she had asked,
my answer couldn’t be swayed.
Men, we’ve all been there,
conspicuously on “the spot”
I’m sure you’d have an answer,
but the correct one,,, likely not!
“Do these shorts make my butt look big?”
completely out of the blue.
If you’ve got the perfect answer,
my hat is off to you.
Now as for me, I had contemplated
similar questions many times.
I’d decided they only ask it,
when they’re trying to blow our minds.
Knowing her sense of humor
and that there is no perfect reply
I thought I’d make her smile,
put a twinkle in her eye.
Well, it’s a no win situation,
that’s the best that I can say,
better to keep your mouth shut
if you’d like to see another day.
It wouldn’t be called “no win”
if there were a way you could escape
but we were on the 12th deck
and I’m without my Superman cape.
Innocence? I lost it
a good many years ago
so now I’m pleading guilty
to crimes I still don’t know.
But this day I messed up,
trying to give her a friendly poke.
I said, “It’s not the shorts,”
but I said it as a joke..
“We’re preparing for a function,
the reason doesn’t matter,
but I got myself in trouble,,,
tiny cabin,,,, no place to scatter.”
