You never could
figure out
how I
not only had
such a good figure
but had such a good head
for figures,
You however
had a pot belly
and couldn’t put one & one
together to make two.
Could you?
Dumb as
they come
your most outstanding feature
you could always make me come.
And yet
you stupidly
call me stupid!
Go look in a mirror!
See what you will find!
whilst I finish your tax returns.
Silly man!
I threw my pearls before you
...you swine!
And now I’ve come
to my senses
I’m glad
what’s mine is mine!
