Mcgee's Fatherly Side
McGee settled down one cool autumn night
Reached for a bag, a match and his pipe
Leaned back in his chair, thought life had been good
Though times had been tough, he did what he should
Young Shawn always came to his dad for advice
So McGee always gave it, short and concise
But came the odd question, That's plagued man for years
And McGee had to face it in spite of his fears
Shawn asked it slowly, preparing for strife
"Dad, what should I look for, when I look for a wife" ?
"Shawn my dear boy, you've been a good son,
do you think this could wait, you're still awfully young"
"Dad I'm a man I get older each day
I'm in need of advice, so what do you say" ?
"OK, my dear son, there are five things to learn
Nothing else really should be a concern ---
First, find a woman that cooks and can clean ---
And Second a woman who's kind, never mean ---
Thirdly a woman who thinks with her head---
And Fourthly a woman who proves good in bed ---
The fifth's most important but don't tell your mother---
It's important these women, never meet one another"
