“Are you listening to me?” I thought I heard her say,
“Look at me when I talk to you!” I thought I had obeyed.
I’d paid attention to her, so I felt I had her trust,
When I thought I heard her say, “Are you looking at my bust?!”

My transgression wasn’t all my fault, I’ve insubordinate eyes,
I try to concentrate on faces, but all I see are chests and thighs.
It isn’t that I’m lecherous, it’s just that I’m a man,
And women are so beautiful.  I wish they’d understand.

Medical science has progressed so far, taking leaps and bounds,
Coming up with new procedures, I hope something will be found
To help me look women in the eye, as they all request,
Perhaps a new procedure to transplant eyes to the chest!

ROFL...Yep, you did exactly what you said you were going to do in your reply to Vicky, and this one is just....so....male! I feel vindicated at last!

I'm reminded of some of the jobs I've had, and the ladies who wore shirts with writing on the front, who did get affronted if you were the least bit literary and curious, for some very odd reason. On some, it was like reading a newspaper draped across the thighs....all curves and distorted letters.

But I digress. Good one, ya sailin scalawag!

Oh my, Sailor Man....
I am one of those women who wish you
men would realize that we have a face and eyes,
as well as other parts of our bodies!! LOL

You did write it well, you nut!!

As a matter of fact, Steaver, I have tried corrective eye-focals - it's call a hard slap to the face, and I've had the procedure several times, all to no avail.  Alas...alack.  lol

You protest too much, Sailor. I dare say I think you would look as I bend over to serve you your mug of beer, and quite a long stare it would be.
