When She Says Guess My Age

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 It’s like attempting a live bomb to defuse Cut the blue, red or green wire - you choose

Women can do more than men to hide their age. I'm 72 and look every day of it. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Elton
