The Rules

He named the rules for her and him to date Number one rule is to never be late, If you say that you will be ready in exactly an hour Then in 60 minutes, I'll be at your door holding a flower. Number two rule is this for us to have a courtship Never lie, or on your shoulders keep or carry a chip, Always be honest and trustworthy and always be true And forget the pain and sadness some might have put you through. The number three rule for us to get together and to hangout If you ever get angry please don't ever scream and shout, And think out the words before them you do say Because, each one of them, you might regret them one day. The number four rule for us if we decide to stay together Remember this, I do not like the cold weather, Inside my house I like to keep it hot So, the thermometer please touch it not. The number five rule if a relationship as a couple we are pursuing Please don't complain about my manners or my chewing, Yes many times I am not polite and I know tobacco is awful But, it's how I was raised and it's accepted and it's not unlawful. He then gave her some more rules about them seeing each other And one of those rules was that she wasn't his mother, She wasn't his boss and she couldn't tell him what to think or do That was another rule of his for them to remain as two. He then asked her if she had any rules for them to be a pair In a deep thought she then looked up with a smile into the air, There is just only one rule she spoke with a stern certainty Please, just don't ever be mean to me.
