I’m always being reprimanded
for being caught red-handed
while checking out the ladies when we’re out.
My wife doesn’t understand
that when she is close at hand
I’m on my best behavior, have no doubt!
It’s normal for a guy
to have a wandering eye.
I wish she’d think of it as just my hobby.
I love to look at all
the short and the tall,
the heavy, skinny, flat-chested and oh so knobby!
I think that most agree
that a woman’s jealousy
is often out of place. There’s no foundation.
Reassure her ‘til you’re blue
and she still won’t believe you.
For most men it’s a source of some frustration.
But I think that I can manage
to recall it as an advantage
the one time that her jealousy saved the day.
We were shopping at the mall,
Super Bowl Sunday, as I recall
and I was hurrying her so I could be on my way.
Suddenly, I looked around
and she was nowhere to be found.
I knew “green magic” was the power to pursue.
I approached a pretty honey
who looked at me a bit funny
and asked “May I chat for a minute or two?”
“Why?” was her exclamation.
So I explained my situation.
Sure enough, within one minute my wife appeared!
She called me several names
but I didn’t miss the game.
Jealousy doesn’t always need to be feared.

Cute.
I never worried about my husband looking at woman. Window shopping is fine as long as he doesn't try things on. The other way to think of it is ...
I would be more worried if he STOPPED looking or started looking at men.

Hey... be nice. This isn't "adult" themed... Oh, you meant...
not that kind of spanking
Thank you for the kind comment and seeing the lighter side of male/female relationships... it's not all tortured love and heartbreak...sometimes it's a good laugh too!
