And Then

And then ..
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

And then..
The ribbon and the cuff link
Escort the gent..
That annoy
Man about a woman
On the long wait
Of her dress up
But then..
The afterward will
Be splendid
When the deal is done
The beauty of her
Smart on your arm.

Before then ..
She vexes and maddens
And makes the blood boil
Too much wick and tick off
The man go nut's 
He is in rut to go.
The stockings go up
The lipstick on.

The right way ?
Thats right
Her head rotate's
"How do I look
Is this colour right"
Inquiry ?
"My hair is sitting
In the chair"
She complains
Her miff continues
As if the mirror foils
Round and round she twist
My blood boils
As she pencils
Her lips red for minutes
Till it ends.

But then !
When she grabs my hand
After make up
The twist starts
And another gent
In the foyer
Get's the goat.
I feel A millionaire
When she leads
Me arm on 
In those stilettos
Balanced and poised.

And then..
All worth the wait
We look superb
And me I feel like
the main lion 
In the den.

The ribbon on the cuff link
What a hit !
And then
Bling !!
We cream the dance floor
And all the other penguins
Look on ..
Supreme la belle le beau ..
There is a sizzle.
