A Good Man

I am a good man—
That’s what my employees all must say
(Or I’ll withhold their holiday bonuses
And have them working Christmas Day).

I am a good man—
For that you can take my girlfriend’s word
(And if my wife protests the sentiment,
Then, like me, pretend you never heard).

I am a good man—
I keep my word at any cost
(And all of those who say otherwise
Are just the losers and the lost).

I am a good man—
I am assured so every day
(And thus I find it very strange
That people don’t come my way).
