DON;T SAY THEY’RE PRETTY!
(Parody lyrics for THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS)
–
When greeting client employees
The pressures are immense,
You say someone’s pretty
With the purest of intents…
The woman may take offence
Thinking that’s not okay,
You might just lose your job
For the little things you say.
–
Some folks don’t wait around
To tittle with the Guard,
They’d like to get going–
Stopping in their back yard…
Some may stop for seconds
For the kind, quick good bye,
But you’d be prudent not to tell
Why they have caught your eye!
–
Sometimes you mention fabric
Or the color looks grand,
And they may accept it
With a regal wave of hand,,,
Leave out delicious body parts
In their “No Mention Zone”‘s,
Just don’t go there but make it clear
Your not the Devil’s own!
–
A friend or two may accest
Compliments now and then,
Just don’t make iy a habit
That will bite you in the end…
Just quietly accept the fact
Of this fine gallery,
Then keep your wits about you
But do it pleasantly@!
