A Man's World

Melisa Miller-Rhees 1990 (Cheyenne)

Rhymed
Dropping money left and right, pinch them pennies oh so tight,
PSE and DCS don't care bout your mental stress,
 feed them babies, pay that rent, listen to this woman vent,  what's for dinner? she can't say, you get thinner every day. Left your wallet, gas on E, stuck in traffic have to pee, be a man and take her out, listen to her scream and shout, " kind of man makes me wait? Don't you know you're ALWAYS late?" Have his back and he'll come through, just show him love in all you do, it ain't always about you...
