Guess My Age

By Elton Camp If it’s a woman who asks, there’s no way to win So I don’t plan to get caught by this one again If she is really forty but fifty is the guess I told She is outraged because I think she looks old If an age younger than hers I happen to name She will certainly be offended just the same Her reaction will be, I am unquestionably sure “It seems that you think I look very immature!” Daring to guess a woman’s age is a bear trap Avoid getting caught - don’t open your yap

And the same thing is true about her weight. Never go there even if asked!
