She's Just Not Worth It
SHE’S JUST NOT WORTH IT
Hey you guys out there -
Can anyone tell me why this chick
Is threatening to dump me after I went to such
Trouble to get her a surprise birthday present?
I mean - it was a top-of-the-line boomerang.
What’s not to like? Then there was
The episode of the yoyo at Xmas - man, talk about
Ingratitude - she’d no appreciation of the skill
That goes into making the thing.
For Valentine’s day I’m also thinking about this
African tribal mask - very realistic features,
Like, what do these women expect, for God’s sake?
It’s as well I haven’t given her anything really expensive:
Was thinking of maybe a stuffed snake,
Or a pair of false-teeth actually worn by Lenin,
And even a replica Mayan scalp -
If she played her cards right.
But I feel it’s probably all over now :
She had her chance and blew it.
Gonna dump her before she dumps me.
