What The Heck?

Your sarcasm is crude and so are you

Your rudeness is annoying

but I tolerate it

I'm with a friend and you ask me if he's my boyfriend

I take offense to that question, but I know a reaction is what you're looking

for...a reason to get something started and for you to have a reason to kick me out of your store

But I look at you and calmly say

Boyfriend? Hmmph...I'd jump over him like a kangaroo to get to your sweet cheeks

I wait for you to get angry and tell me to get out of your store

but instead, you smile

Women...can't figure them out...
