Such a Pretty Bow

broad shoulders, six foot three Rolex, Stacey Adams, suit by Armani and she said yes soft spoken, warm hands, piercing eyes a Harvard degree, business law and she said yes, yes a dance to Smoke Gets In Your Eyes witty, charming, a nightcap and she said yes, yes, yes Mercedes Benz, Pacific Ocean, gated community ten thousand square feet, pool, sauna, jacuzzi and she said yes, yes, yes, yes John Coltrane caressed the ears, Dom Perignon the bloodstream kissed with the eyes, then the lips and she said yes, yes, yes, yes, yes wait, wait grabbed her, cursed her, rippped her dress slapped her, groped her, pinned her, mounted her, took her and she cried no, no, no, no, no–no

Wow! Great poem! It all looks good tied up in a pretty bow until the bow is torn and the terror begins. Very well done! A cautionary tale! They should make this a POTD!
