Permission Slip

You say you like sweet snacks, like Cracker-Jacks- 
And, you think I might be a prize. 
You propose a test drive scenario; a chance to 
Maybe try me on for size. 

You say you could rock my world; 
Show me the time of my life. 
Well you know, I'm good to go, just show 
Me a permission slip, signed by my wife. 

There she is, right over there, 
She the one with the purple hair 
Just keep in mind, she doesn't like to share 
And, she never learned to play well with others

I love it. Your wife knows a prize when she has it and is so wise to keep you on a short leash. Joyce
