Only a Man Can Relate

A look of shame upon her face.
I know he told her, he must've told her

A silent scorn, a look of shame
As if I've wrecked our family name.

"Good morning ma, how is your day?"
...A quiet scorn, a look of shame.

he told her. He must've told her.

Oh mommy please look at me.
Talk to me.
Be kind to me.

Oh daddy hell, why'd you tell her.
You're a man, you know better

A look of shame upon her face.
Yeah, she's grief-stricken.
obviously sickened.
Daddy walked in,
while I was choking the chicken.

A silent scorn upon her face
caught watching ****, a great disgrace.
hands on board.
pants on floor.
well i was bored,
**** struck a chord.

Yes i was yanking it
Yes i was cranking it
oh ma, please dont throw a fit
just Cuz i was spanking it!
