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!
