Honeypot
Daughter wanted me to get out and go
Too much staying at home and feeling low
Needed to have fun and talk to friends
Tired of arguing so I agreed
We met her friends for a drink and to eat
When I talk, I look eye to eye
A trait most men appreciate
One of the young men stared
Who was a good-looking guy
I felt uneasy as he came on to me
I tried to be nice and let him lead
But his conversation kept coming back to me
Compliments all over the place
Trying to accept them, but
I really wanted to put him in his place
Thinking to myself and trying to make excuses
He wants to be nice and tell his funny jokes
Just listen, be nice, and have another doctored Coke
By now this was getting old
My patience was getting thin
I am too old for this young man!
I could not figure him out
With all these young girls running about
Now it was really time to go
He was talking like I was a “ho”!
He made out like I was “hot”
Probably thought I was some “Honey Pot”!
Not wanting to make a fuss
I said my goodbyes and said it was fun
No more getting together with younger men
Just getting home felt like a major win!
