They Deserve What They Get

They Deserve What They Get

By Elton Camp

We have friends who close the drapes tight
Just as soon as it becomes dark every night

“I’m afraid a peeping Tom will look at me
And that he’ll come back some more to see.”

And so night-to-night they live in abject fear
That to windows a prowler will come near

However, at our house we have less concern
That any peeper will look and then return

Who would delight to see old, flabby, fat
And then come back for some more of that

So if voyeurs into our windows should peer
They will deserve what they get I do fear
