No sense of wisdom
Or just to blind to see
When under her thumb
That though is then he!
How you could surcumb
To that type of missery?
Perhaps though for some
That is a stark reality!
Her as always on her bumb
Little miss lady muck is she!
A sad case of tweedle dumb
And tweedle dee
Old write was on here years ago rewrote
Written 2014 rewrite 2020..about friend and his partner ... 2004
a leisurely spring day with a friendly southernly wind from the west
I hang from an oak tree nearly hitting my round chin on my flat chest
from homes of unsuspecting neighbors, I hear dainty titters and more.
doddering Mrs. McCollough left for rancid happy foods grocery store.
bullish Rutherford rerun, the angry wife throws out all his same stuff.
he kicks the set kitchen table over before leaving in an angry loud huff.
i am enthusiastically spying in my unassuming upside-down pose.
Super confident that I now know much more than anyone knows.
nose reports Mr Clerkoff is baking a raspberry cobbler again - yum!
ears relay newlywed wife has her puppy dog groom well under her thumb. dangling fingers gently touch the soft dew born grass; I am relaxed too.
if you have not had this kind of gleaning education, I feel sorry for you.
Friends say that my girlfriend is dumb
And she has me under her thumb
But what they don't know
Is she's hot to go
And hugs me so tight when I come
A girl can have more fun when dressed in red,
With killer high heels and a smile to turn heads.
Red is a color of deep, rich passion,
Not to mention that it is very high fashion.
She’s a flirt, and is as pretty as they come.
And with one look, she has you right under her thumb.
Don’t dismiss the memorable girl in red,
Because with her, you never know what’s ahead!
Take a stroll through your past life
It’s horrifying isn’t it, what you’ve found?
A past that continually haunts you
Choices made irresponsibly unsound
Now take an in-depth look again
Dismiss the prejudice you possess
So much conflict and anger
A learned behavior to be my guess
Someone poisoned your thoughts
Teaching you chauvinistic displays
Someone taught you incorrectly
Without prejudice was never a way
Take an unprejudiced look at your life now
And all that you’ve become
Don’t be foolish and fall under
Her bigotry; you’re under her thumb
Remain unbiased and always remember
All the fairness I’ve preached to you
Approach each person without prejudice
For the next one to be judged, could be you
