The Flirt

I'll tell you,son, about the Birds and Bees,
Not much can be more important than these.
I will tell you the facts right from the start.
There are many roads that lead to the heart.
But the many roads start from the same place-
It's called a flirt and it starts in the face.
Now the purpose of the flirt is well known,
It's the first act to make someone your own.
There are two tools that put your face to work -
The eyes and mouth are where a flirt will lurk.
Now the eyes are made to flirt more than see -
A wink, a roll, a stare, a sidewise glance
Are powerful tools in this mating dance.
The mouth brings forth a smile, a laugh, a pout -
And hints at what flirting is all about
Now practice will give you the skills you need,
And flirts coming your way you'll see indeed.
So these are the tools of the mating dance -
Our next lesson will deal with the romance.
But for now, my son, go flirt as you will
Then we'll talk of romance, there is time still
