Best To Know Who's Boss - Both Audio and Text
Listen to poem:
My wife and I was dancin’ at a Senatorial ball, when some old gal struts up to us and whines,
“The Senator’s been watching you…and doesn’t think it’s right for men to grab their dancing mates’ behinds!
“He says if you don’t stop right now, he’ll have you both thrown out, and - trust me, sir…he always keeps his word!”
“Well…you can tell that fat old slob I’ll dance the way I like”, I barked at her…then threw the guy the bird!
His entire table went berserk, seein’ my nasty gesture…their mouths agape…
a regular hissy-fit…
And Cheryl exploded, “Billy-Ray…she’s right about the grabbin’…it’s tacky…
and I swear…if you don’t quit
“Actin’ like a dog-in-heat, I’m gonna knock yer doo-dads up yer crotch so far you’ll lose your voice…
And sleepin’ -- in our bed -- or on the couch - tonight…I’m warnin’ you…is up fer grabs - dependin’ on your choice!”
Now…tickin’ off a senator don’t cause me any fear…but pissin’ off my wife’s another deal.
Funny thing is, back when we was datin’ she’d get horny whenever I’d - get fresh, an’ - cop a feel.
Course…now that we’ve been hitched for sneakin’ up on twenty years, and Cheryl calls the shots on - <>…
I can guarantee ya’…when I push that broad too far…sure as hell, she’ll kick my bleepin’ bleep,
And, full aware that rooty-toots don’t care for a guy like me dancin’ in the way that he prefers…
AND…not prepared to take the flack that I knew Cheryl would launch, if -
like a fool - I kept on grabbin’ hers…
I played it smart - (which ain’t a common thing for me to do) - and never once again got outta line,
Knowin’ that - by backin’ off on feelin’ up her ass - I’d wind up, in the long run, savin’ mine!
