同太太辩论

同太太辩论是徒然的

从一开始

她就宣称女士优先

把较好的一半一下子攫走

然后用那较坏的一半

将你的嘴牢牢封死

让你目瞪口呆洗耳恭听

叽叽喳喳

稀里哗啦

待她看到你脸上乌云密布

哽住的喉咙里雷声轰隆作响

自知理亏的她

便嫣然一笑把小小的嘴巴凑上来

在你的唇上轻轻那么一啄

顿时

魔咒解除

雨过天晴

TO ARGUE WITH THE WIFE

it's hopeless to argue

with your wife

right from the start

by claiming ladies first

she seizes the better half

and stuffs the worse half in your mouth

leaves you dumbfounded

listening to her endless

cheep chirp cheep chirp

cheep chirp cheep chirp

until dark clouds gather over your face

thunders rumble in your choked throat

she then breaks into a smile and draws close to you

pecks on your pursed lips with her now quiescent mouth

instantly

the black magic spell lifts

the sky clears and brightens
