two women on a seesaw

two women on a seesaw laughing their happy heads off Like male praying mantises, except they did not scoff wearing dresses and high heels which was absurd Their husbands Phil and Lee walked by, without saying a word Pretending they do not know their wives imbibe during the day Something hard to not realize if you are looking their way They were arguing now about whose seesaw was the best. They were both on the same one, so it was no real test. Let’s go to a ballgame, suggested Phil to his friend Lee. They had no argument from their Gladys or Sammy. Arguing now about whether the seesaw was blue or red. Let’s stop by and pick up my favorite cousin, Fred.
