His dallying was more than she could bear.
Each time he came around and tossed his love,
as if it were a lasso, in the air,
the sudden swirling loop it made above
him caught her quite off balance every time.
Entwined, not fighting it, she'd weakly stand,
but nothing was so utterly sublime
as being tied up in that glorious strand!
And nothing she could do would make him stay,
for growing restless, he would always loose
her, kiss her tenderly, then stride away
and leave that woman aching for the noose. . . .
the noose that he alone knew how to make
but just as effortlessly could forsake.
