If she wasn't working, <br />He wasn't there. <br />And 'if' he was there... <br />It was the first of every month. <br /> <br />Chumps and ball handlers. <br />Stumps on corner dumps. <br />To define them as punks... <br />Would defend them as spineless men. <br /> <br />She's been led to believe, <br />That man independent... <br />Not needing a woman to feed his needs, <br />Just has to be 'that way'. <br />You know... <br />Limped wrist and gay. <br /> <br />And she and her girlfriends, <br />When they sit at the bars... <br />Talking about themselves, <br />For hours and hours. <br />And who is not a man... <br />Doing what a man can! <br />They get up and leave... <br />To tweak each other's needs. <br />With a tweaking done to please. <br /> <br />She's been led to believe, <br />That man independent... <br />Not needing a woman to feed his needs, <br />Just has to be 'that way'. <br />You know... <br />Limped wrist and gay. <br /> <br />If she wasn't working, <br />He wasn't there. <br />And 'if' he was there... <br />It was the first of every month. <br /> <br />Chumps and ball handlers. <br />Stumps on corner dumps. <br />To define them as punks... <br />Would defend them as spineless men. <br />But who is left in the household... <br />To encourage, raise and discipline them? <br /> <br />And she and her girlfriends, <br />When they sit at the bars... <br />Talking about themselves, <br />For hours and hours. <br />And who is not a man... <br />Doing what a man can! <br />They get up and leave... <br />To tweak each other's needs. <br />With a tweaking done to please.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
