The boy was boasting once again
About meeting the most gorgeous woman you'd ever seen
Blonde and blue, full lips and porcelain skin
She was hotter than hot, a full-on beauty queen
The men gathered at the table shared a chuckle
They'd all heard this story a hundred times before
He'd been telling it since he first sprouted stubble
There probably wasn't a girl in town he hadn't fallen for
This time it's different he loudly bellowed
This girl is not only a stunner, she's also into me!
She gave her name and number and we even took a photo
Then he pulled out his phone and said, Take a look and see!
Old Jim put on his readers and took a cursory glance
Then handed the phone over to the other men to inspect
Each of them snickered a little when they viewed the new romance
His phone was handed back to him as if it was suspect
Each of the men looked at each other as if they shared a secret
And each of the men nodded as if silently voting on who would reveal it
After several minutes the room became as silent as a crypt
Until old Jim cleared his throat and said, Alright, I'll spit
Jim then took a long sip of coffee before he said to him
Son, don't you see she's flashing the V
Letting the women know of her availability
And that you are not her preferred cup of tea
What the hey! The boy spat right back at the men
Are you trying to tell me she's playing for the other team?
Why in tarnation would she give me her name and number then?
You old coots don't know nothing you're throwing water on my dream
Suit yourself, one of the other old men said grumpily
But you're young and you would do well to listen
The world is full of beautiful young ladies who will share a man's company
But have a decidedly different preference when it comes to huggin' and a kissin'
The boy stared at the picture on the 3 X 4 screen
And his thumb hovered over the little garbage can of delete
He knew the men were right about what her fingers were supposed to mean
And decided that if they went out it would be straight up dutch treat
