Thanks For the Laugh

Oh buddy, I'm afraid not, Very funny though, that you thought to try You can't disrespect me like that And think you'll be a part of my life. I did find your words very fun though As a way to try to hit on me If you hadn't been serious, it'd have behind comical But I don't understand what you see. I don't stand on a street corner for cash or drugs But even if I did, you wouldn't be treating me like that I am a lady and that means I demand to be treated like one And knowing who my brother is, your words confound me. Yes, I have a lot of tattoos, I have piercings and your sick mind probably Imagines them in places where there aren't any None of these, though, are reasons to be so disgusting. I know, you come from the same town as I We were taught so strangely, the grown-up rules But when we went into the world we learned the truth So, I have to ask, has that behavior EVER worked for you?

I hope there is. He just needs to learn he can't talk to women the way here does. At 40 years old it's sad that he thinks it's ok but hopefully his mother will teach him
