The "Rub"
I've been married to two women,
but neither knew how to cook, at all;
one couldn't even clean...
..the other moved my happy home,
and didn't show me where...
..and that's the "rub".
I can't believe my propensity
to attract the damndest luck,
it could be raining money,
and I'd be strucken by the safe!
they could be passing out free donuts,
and I would get the holes...
..and that's the "rub".
I once had won a contest,
winning gasoline for a year,
and me, who doesn't own a car.
I've got unlimited long distance,
but, if a loved one calls collect...
I'm unable to take the call...
..and that's the "rub".
In my life, things go this way,
not that I'm complaining;
for I know no one would care,
I'm not asking for any sympathy,
'cause no one gives a care...
..and that's the "rub"!
