People hate that I flip two cigarettes
Upside down in each pack
for luck;
People hate that I smoke.
But I hate that people notice
When you gain three pounds,
But not when you get a new haircut.
I've been told that the way I sleep
With one leg draped over
The person lying next to me
Is annoying,
But I think it's annoying
When people tell me
I look pretty,
But only when I paint my face.
I've heard that men
Like to touch the girls who work at the bars,
But I want to know
Why they never kiss the women they married
twenty-two years ago.
I've noticed that mothers teach their daughters
That it's rude to refuse a hug
From an uncle they've met three times,
But forget to teach them
That they aren't obliged to kiss
The boy who paid for dinner.
