Diamond In The Rough

I am the first to admit

I’m not God’s gift to women

It’s more like a penance when I’m involved really

And I am certainly a little rough around the edges

But there are certain things you can do

To make yourself more respectable to the fairer ***

Like: be wary of your weight and what suits

Don’t loaf onto a bus with your gut

Hanging out, wearing a stained Hawaiian t-shirt

Sweating like a hog in the midday sun.

I know ladies make allowances:

Ineptitude

Dickishness

Bravado

Rudeness

Even arrogance.

But even our fair compadres draw the line

At sheer disregard for personal hygiene.

I wonder what people think

When they go out dressed like that?

They’re either one of three things:

Very ignorant to what women want,

Femo-phobes,

Or they think they got something ******* special

No woman can resist.
