Advice Against Being An Ass
In a very crowded bar
Fred decides he must
tell this fellow
something important
so he whispers
“Don’t be an ass
and go home tonight
and raise hell over
a matter like that.
“She did nothing wrong
except hurt your feelings
without knowing it.
She meant no harm.
“Be happy you married
a good woman like that.
Let’s pay the bill and you
go home and hug her.”
But Fred shuts up
when the barkeep
brings the tab with a smile
and says, "Fred, you
talkin' to yourself?"
