Thick Voice

Why do we have a thick voice?
I don’t mean girls, I mean boys
Especially when we talk out loud 
Comes out an unpleasant sound 

It sounds like if it was a roar 
Or a throat that is sore 
It’s like you’re calling for a fight
When you only mean to be polite
It’s like trying to shout and yell
But you truly mean well

The thick voice makes you look rude
Even if you’re wearing a tie and a suit 
Though it sometimes makes you look brave
It most times makes you look like man of cave

Even when you try to control it and not to hurl 
They make fun of you and call you: girl!
But what are we to do? It’s the way we are
And we don’t mean to offend anybody nor mar 

In my opinion thick suits us more than thin
I think it’s one of the things that made us men
So after all we shouldn’t worry about the noise 
That is made by our thick voice
