It's the Wrong Address

Don't call me Ma'am,
it just isn't right.
I know down here in the south,
parents have raised their children to be polite.

It makes me feel old,
and that just isn't me.
Save your Ma'ams for some other old person,
I am only 53.

Loved it, put a smile on my face. We're only as old as we feel right?

your age is 53 but you are 35 by your mind. appearance is what makes people call you the way you are called. change it and its in your hands.

Haha! This put a smile on my face! Unfortunately, I'm guilty of calling women "Ma'am", but when you're in a customer service business, it comes natural sometimes! Forgive us!
