The Last Word, Age of Indolence Ii

But I should have known 
she wasn’t through.
She snuggled close 
to whisper in my ear,
and said I have a message for you.
She sounded sexy and sultry 
and licked my ear.
Cuddling with me,
I had both hands full 
of my favorite parts of her.
You’re lucky I love you, lazy old man.  
So, listen here!  
I’m not going to fool around with you
until your yard work is through.
I had a talk with the contractor about
the swing set and the back deck.
He said they can start next weekend
So, He and I signed a contract, 
then I stroked the check.
I love my grandchildren and I love you,
don’t ever make me choose 
between them or you.
If you don’t start teaching 
this little dog to do what I say,  
She’s going to wake up 
in a shelter run by the S. P. C. A.
When I ask you to trim the bushes?
and you smile like the dirty old man you are,
this time it won’t get you very far.
Now as for helping you 
with your (wish it was bigger,)
I think we fit just right, 
and we're going to try
something new tonight.
Now get your hands off me
and go wash that filthy car.
