You're Not A Lady Poem by Randy McClave

So, you say that you are a lady
Well that's hard for me to believe,
As I known the life that you have led
And the life now that you do lead.
You cheat around and you do also lie
And you curse and drink more than any man,
You can't teach virtues to your own two daughters
As them yourself, you don't understand.

You say that you might be a lady
Well that I think could never be,
As a lady doesn't brag on hickeys from other men
Or leave their husband for other men to see.
And while their home is sleeping
A lady doesn't crawl out of the bed of her spouse,
While her own daughters are their still asleep
And runs to bed a man who lives in a broken house.

So, you say you think you might be a lady
I think I have heard that story once before,
As a lady marries for love and then forever
And not for escape, and later to become a whore.
And a lady is known by both woman and man
Wherever she might go or where she might be,
And the people see meets and that she greets
They can tell you, that she is truly a lady.

So, now you say you wish you were a lady
Well that of course will never be,
As a lady is married to the man she is with
And not used by him or by other men in discreet.
And a lady doesn't lie or doesn't cheat or even steal
She doesn't leave from one man to another,
And she wont change her hair so people wont stare
And she doesn't blame her fault on her own mother.

So, you say that you are not a lady
I am so glad you finally accepted that fact,
As a lady is a roll model for daughters everywhere,
And not for advertisement for when she is on her back.
A lady is virtuous and is loyal and ever so caring
And those are the qualities that you never had,
She is also devoted to her man and is a good mother
A lady you never was, or will be, and that makes me sad.
