Bridgerton

Dear readers, please dwell awhile
Sit here a moment I pray
I wish to speak a little
of what and how people say

Surely the ladies here
would wish it to be thus
if everyone spoke and acted
as if on Bridgerton, discuss.

The people are so polite
and the gentlemen treat ladies well
ladies are wonderfully courted
while the gentlemen visit a spell

Balls are held and people dance
even insults sound charming
the ladies get all of a twitter
when the gentlemen are disarming

Wouldn't it be wonderful
instead of how it is now
if everyone spoke like that
and everyone curtsied and bowed

As long as we still had women's rights
that would still need to stand
but every now and then
to have a true gentleman to attend

To be whisked away, in a beautiful gown
and be twirled around the floor
instead of sitting in a pub
and someone saying, 'fancy a lager poured?'

Those Victorian days only live in books these days, Helen. I'm not even sure children are taught their P's and Q's anymore. You are obviously a true romantic and a real lady. An enjoyable read this morning.
