The Peril of Speculating on Relationships

 

By Elton Camp

 

What people are to each other don’t try to guess

A mistake can get you into a most terrible mess

 

“And this must be your father” isn’t smart

The young woman’s husband is that old fart

 

“Your grandchild’s cute” to an unknown man

Who is holding onto his own daughter’s hand

 

“Who is this with you” is a much better bet

Than the angry response you else might get
