The Mistake
I heard him curse, I heard him groan
I heard him on the telephone
I called to him, "Your cell phone's on!"
"And I don't want to drink alone"
But then I heard a muffled shriek
I thought my heart would spring a leak
I yelled to him, "Sue--you OK?!"
"Sue isn't here. He's gone away!"
"Who, then, who? Pat or Terry?"
"They went to the apothecary."
"Randy, Dale, or maybe Merle?"
And which of them is boy or girl?
"Look, I can't think--ask Gale or Jan"
"You idiot, this is she man!"
"Hermaphrodites all get free phones?"
"Will someone pass the pheromones?"
