If I Shopped For My Spouse Like I Shop For My Automobile
Shopping for a wife's no science
So use your car for example
Kick her ankles for compliance
The way you kick tires for sample
Pull her dress high to see the works
Exactly like you'd hoist the hoods
Up high is where you'll find the perks
Down low is where they put the goods
Walk around behind this chassis
See how much baggage she will hold
Check her walk and look for classy
Watch for dimples to see how old
Now to the face to check the paint
How many coats have been applied
Does it cover scratches that taint
And has the hair been often dyed
Once you're happy with the looking
It's time to check the inner parts
Ask her if she's used to cooking
Or does she eat from little carts
Then it's time for the money shot...
Tell her you love her then stand back
She'll either purr or she will not
And you'll have your answer - or lack
One final thought before you start
You'll check the warranty, my friend
Ask her if "Til death do us part"
Causes her to grimace or grin
