...reckless....
There is nothing quite as reckless
As the husband
In the battle of the sexes
From the start you know its’ done
He’s fighting a battle which she has already won
Take for example a friend of mine who lives in Prescott
All he wanted out of life was his dog and a truck, well maybe a van
This is what he bargained for, it wasn’t what he got
His wife wanted a racy convertible, black with a tan interior
His mistake was to be sensible, like any natural man
They argued, he said no, she begged and pleaded, please, please, please
The man is the weaker sex, as a negotiator he is decidedly inferior
"We could carry our tools and the dog in a truck"
But Honey, it’s so romantic when your driving to feel the breeze
He didn’t know it yet, but he’d just run out of luck
We can fit more groceries and some lumber in a van
Yes but you won’t have to sleep on the couch if I get my Sebring
He thought logic would prove his case, but logic didn’t mean a thing
He thought he was still in control, and called upon his keenest wit
"Honey if we get the van, it will be easier for you to take the dog to be groomed"
His wife would have none of it
That’s when the tide turned, the poor slob didn’t know it, but he was doomed
Telling a woman that her chores will be easier just doesn’t get the job done
If we get the convertible you can take me out to dinner in style
He threw out the cost of insurance on a sports car and let it lay there
She countered with a sexy look and a really raunchy smile
His eyes began to glaze over and she hit him with her stare
As the sun went down on the Arizona Desert that night
You could just barely make out the outline of a convertible going down the road
You could see a dog in the back seat with her tongue hanging out
The dealership had closed and the salesman had just turned out the light
And my friend was just beginning to wake up and wonder what hit him
"Oh My God", he was heard to shout
The new car was moving up that highway at about a flat 100 miles per hour
And my friend was really afraid for his sorry life
And yes he was reckless, behind the wheel sat his pretty wife
But before you judge him, you know, want to cut him down to size
If you know what’s good for you, and who really owns the power
You will have to admit he is also very, very wise
