Cougars Hunt-Contest

From my perspective, a 27 year old male,
A woman's true beauty never sets sail.
The stereotype is women should date older men,
and we should date the younger hen.

Cougars think this should change.
I like it, to me it doesn't sound strange.
Some women just know what they want.
And some nights they go on the prowl and hunt.

Just as any animal out there lurking, their behavior can be risky.
Just as all other animals, sometimes you just want to get frisky.
Most younger men like this, but they say it all depends.
This means they like it, as long as they aren't seen leaving by his friends.

So mostly I don't have a problem with the cougar effect, 
but there is one part of it that I do reject.
Its the part where I tell my friends I'm getting my gun,
because they tell me all the time, that my mom is one.
