Phillipe Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Dr. Seuss Gives Up WomenThe day was wet as fishesAs the news came to his eyesHe'd lost all of his wishes'Neath the dark and cloudy skiesHe'd once had hopes of being justLike every other guyBut when his Hope Balloon went bustHe sat down and he cried“Oh WHY even bother to TRY?”He screamed out to the treesIt echoed down the valleyAs he fell down to his knees“I TRY to make them happyAnd I TRY to make them gladBut every time I TRY to TRYThey end up being mad!They're mad at me for little thingsAnd bigger things as wellThey're mad when I offer them ringsOr tell them “Go to Hell!”If I go left, they're leaning rightIf I go up, they're downWhen they get all too seriousI'm usually the clownEnough's enough! I'll be real tough!I don't need any gal!Of course it might get kind of roughWhen I just need a palOh, heck, I'll get some goldfishAt least they have a short lifeJust like if I would get my wishAlong with a new wifeFor then I'd be in trouble deepMy life no longer mineShe'd be awake when I'm asleepAnd then she'd mutter, “Fine!”I know that word from women pastIt means only one thing:As baritone I've sung my last;Soprano now I'll singSo maybe this is all for goodThis tearing of my heart;This path of loneliness I walk,This soul that's ripped apartI now have time to swallowAnd have time for everythingIn fact, I think I'll wallowIn the mud, and then I'll sing!One thing's for sure, I have the cure-No longer will I seekThe female of the species-At least, until late next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
