Girly Time

Girly Time Women do wear watches why can’t they tell the time Them watches should be bigger with a megatronic chime Ladies think appointments are a little like a date They keep their doctor keen by being twenty minutes late My wife booked up the dentist an appointment made for ten She grabbed her coat and left the house a minute before then The trouble is it’s quite a drive half hour door to door And then we face the car park and so she’s late once more Although she wears a watch the battery ran out yesterday She asked me if I’d fix it and then went on to say ‘I can’t believe the battery’s flat I nearly had a fit, although I’ve had this watch for years I rarely look at it,’ I give her constant time checks every five minutes or ten I wonder if it’s likely that they’d wanna sell Big Ben She says, ‘I’m not a child stop telling me the time and please don’t tell whole damned world about me in a rhyme’ Of course, once we get on our way then nothing is her fault She’s bellows at the car in front a geriatric sort We’ll be late she says because that geezer’s driving slow He should appreciate that some folk have some place to go Well I just drive and bite my lip I think that’s always best She can’t drive cos she turned up too late for her test I even pointed out back then she should respect the time She used two fingers to tell me to ‘just get lost’... in mime
