dear man, you did one wrong, don't celebrate,
you'll hear again about it till this date,
dear man you did two wrongs, get set to flee,
she'll cry about your wrongs, they will be three,
you did three wrongs, start looking for the door,
when next you spat, she'll bring to you all four,
and lord forbid your four come back as five,
this pattern promulgates while you're alive,
when five wrongs then return to you as six,
you'll wish for tickets down the river Styx,
and six will show as seven different things,
and ten, eleven, only diamond rings
appease the wrath of woman but do fret,
for pachyderms and females don't forget,
your flaws will always exponential grow,
and this a man must always need to know.
