Getting Horizontal
My need to get horizontal is occasioned by different things;
it isn't always what men suppose in their wildest imaginings.
Sometimes, it's true, I like to indulge in the kind of thing I do best,
but sometimes I'm merely exhausted and need to lie down and rest.
But try explaining that to a man! Whether he's bright or dim
"I need to get horizontal" I fear means only one thing to him.
Don't tell me that not all men are the same you don't have to make excuses;
I know what goes on in the masculine mind; the visions that phrase unlooses.
Whatever a man's convictions, always, for good or ill,
his thoughts are controlled by a primal urge to procreate at will.
Survival of the species is an instinct really rife.
Why do we make such a song and dance about something so basic to life?
But next time I use the expression don't assume that you are desired.
Ask and I'll say if I want to mate or whether I'm simply tired.
