you cannot touch.....I always remember my mama saying.....´Oh, Son, don’t

can look but you can’t touch that thing´.....went down to the department
store , I was ten years old, went into the toy department....headed for one
of them little toy soldiers.....saleslady came up to me and.....whispered ´Oh,
son , don’t you touch that thing.....oh, son, don’t you touch that
thing ....yeah, you can look but you can’t touch that thing´....then
I was 17, I went out with my first girlfriend....I was a late starter....took
her to a little, nice place to park.... whispered sweet things in her ear...turned
the radio down low... put my hand on her knee....kissed her on the cheek a little
bit....put my hand on her thigh.... and nuzzled and breathed into her ear a
little bit....and then just as I was about to....I heard her say ´oh son
don’t you touch that thing....oh, son , don’t you touch that thing....yeah
you can look but you can’t touch that thing´.....”
