Man under the rule of thumb
I say a word, you speak a sentence
between us we write a paragraph,
many pages of life have done distance,
bookmarked by cheques with my autograph.
I take you when where you want to go,
work my way around your many deeds,
my wish in life you never shall know,
for I fill my life with all your needs.
am pleased to see the smile on your face,
sparkling white between two bright red lips,
my life is shaped by your daily grace,
are you the one that launched thousand ships?
friends think am under my woman’s thumb,
weak fellow who has no voice to raise,
I say to them you are all so dumb,
for peace and joy I have my own ways!
