When She Says Guess My Age
Guess My Age
By Elton Camp
If it’s a woman who asks, there’s no way to win
So I don’t plan to get caught by this one again
If she is really forty but fifty is the guess I told
She is outraged because I think she looks old
If an age younger than hers I happen to name
She will certainly be offended just the same
Her reaction will be, I am unquestionably sure
“It seems that you think I look very immature!”
Daring to guess a woman’s age is a bear trap
Avoid getting caught - don’t open your yap
It’s like attempting a live bomb to defuse
Cut the blue, red or green wire - you choose
