YOU’RE NOT PERFECT BUT YOU’LL DO

 

Let’s set the record straight regarding

The differences between us pending

There are a few contentious Issues

So, grab yourself a box of tissues

Birthdays and Anniversaries

Are not quests or epic odysseys

For us to find you the perfect gift

We try our best so don’t be miffed

Please ask for what you want

Let’s be clear with due détente

Your subtle hints don’t work at all

Even Strong hints don’t if you recall

And obvious hints do not work

Just say it and don’t go berserk

We really don't remember dates

It’s just one of our personal traits

Mark them on the calendar clearly

Remind us before, frequently

We cannot read minds and never have

Nor is it an ability we will ever have

Such An inability does not construe

Or prove that we don’t care for you

 

Come to us with a problem only if

Its something we can solve in a Jif

And you want our help in solving it

That's what we do were good at it

But its help we give and no more

Sympathy is what girlfriends are for

If something we said can be taken

More than one way or mistaken

And one of the ways makes you sad

Or angry, upset or just plain mad

Then that certainly wasn’t our intent

It was clearly the other one we meant

Anything we said over six months ago

Is inadmissible in an argument you know

In fact all comments are null and void

After seven days ask Sigmund Freud

The relationship is never going to be

Like it was the first two months or three

We were going out then, it was lust

Tell that to your girlfriends if you must

And whenever possible, for pities sake

Talk only during the commercial break

 

You have the choice so can either ask

Us simply and concisely to perform a task

Or tell us how you want the job done

But don’t do both you can chose only one

If you already know best how to do it

Then don’t ask us just get on and do it

If we ask what is wrong and you say

“Nothing” we will behave that way

We know it’s a lie when you say it

But it is not worth the hassle is it

When we have to go out somewhere

I’m happy with whatever you wear

Most men own three pairs of shoes

What makes you think we can chose

Which pair, out of thirty more or less

Would look any good with that dress

You have enough clothes trust me

You have too many shoes cant you see

And yes there are times it is true

We are not thinking about you

It’s a fact of life so don’t obsess

We do not love you any less

 

Now let me finish what I’ve begun

Now where was I, I’m almost done

Sunday and sports go well together

Like BBQ’s and good weather

A headache that last for over a year

Means you need to see a doctor I fear

Christopher Columbus did not desire

Directions and nor do we require

If you won't dress like a French maid

Don’t expect us to act like a TV blade

Let us ogle and don’t be so pathetic

We are going to anyway; it's genetic

Yes and no are perfectly acceptable

Responses to any question you table

Crying is blackmail if not deceit

Oh yes Learn to work the toilet seat

By the way don’t ever cut your hair

And check your oil please let’s be fair

No matter what you have been taught

Shopping is certainly NOT a sport.

I hope that’s illuminated the gloom

All right I’ll sleep in the spare room
