A Narrow Escape

A gentleman’s intentions of amour applied with great finesse A lesser dame would waver and surely acquiesce Love designs in the air as ancient as Romeo In the Battle of the Sexes just who is friend or foe? Carnal schemes of gallavanting the town were a-brew Pressing his intended flame for an impassioned rendezvous Meet here or there, anywhere, some seedy local haunt Twas getting hard for Lady Fair to keep it nonchalant An age old story so typical, certainly not unique Of guys and dolls who can say or sagaciously critique? Fair Lady’s position was dangerously precarious Pursued by forces sinister and wickedly nefarious Our Lady escaped the grasp of one as suspicious as Sade de Marquis Alas the cad was rebuffed aside … he found no ecstasy!
