Sweet Ladies of the Soup

All the ladies of Poetry Soup Have me wrapped around their fingers Pulling me along by my big proboscis As their lady smells doth linger That scent that drives us male dudes wild You guys know of what I speak Not stuff you can buy in a beauty salon That oh so feminine mystique It's really damn difficult to turn it off The reason we act like buffoons We succumb and act so silly and stuff Often we even bay at the moon Like a bunch of silly young teenage dudes We stammer when trying to speak Our faces turn red, we bump into things Sometimes letting out little shrieks There is a cure, it's called commitment How dare I suggest such a thing There's just got to be a much simpler way Perhaps a one-night ring-a-ding-ding All the ladies of Poetry Soup Have me wrapped around their fingers Pulling me along by my big proboscis As their lady smells doth linger
