Reading Between the Lines
Do we always know what someone means
Is it obvious or do we wonder
Are we sometimes left just a little puzzled
Or does it finally strike like thunder
Evasive tactics can be quite intentional
Not wanting to divulge private info
Like telling someone of a sticky situation
So we resort to mumbo jumbo
Eventually when we can no longer stall
We finally blurt out what we mean
“Your dress is tucked up in your undies in back
Showing the nicest assets I've seen”
Should always try to read between the lines
So we never get put on the spot
Best is to just walk up to her, simply whisper
Don't mind but we see what you've got!
Dedicated to Miss Wattle
