Ain'T You Demure
Ain't You Demure....Challenge
She rode in on a buckskin mare,
Tied up at Cote D'Zur
She sat down by a young cowboy -
He said "Ain't you demure."
She said,"My husband says 'lissome'-
And I prefer that tone."
He said," You're prob'ly cenosure,
But now you're all alone."
"I know you're tryin' for glamour -
You was an ingenue -
But there ain't no panacea
Just say what you can say."
Well, this went on for 'bout an hour -
Could be sempiternal.
The buckskin mare was gettin' bored
The heat was infernal.
The lather on the horses coat
Changed the buckskin's tone
It was downright chatoyant
As if some rare gemstone
And just then the husband walked in
As angry as he looked
What he did was ineffable
That cowboy's goose was cooked.
Well, she cooed and purred to calm him down
And whispered in his ear.
Her voice was downright mellifluous,
"Please let's get out of here."
