Wine and Dine

(poem inspired by Glenn Hughes' Where There's a Will . . .)

Call me Miss Persistence.
        On my menu is you.
I can go the distance
        to make your dreams come true.

Your best hors d’oevre I’ll be.
         Call me Miss Persistence.
Just have a taste of me.
          There'll be no resistance.

I won’t need assistance
           to make you my entrée.
Call me Miss Persistence.
            Dessert is on the way.

Like rib eye with red wine,
           blissful coexistence
will happen once we dine!
       “Call me!” -  Miss Persistence

"Persistently" enticing. One might even say inviting and alluring in a subtle, lustful kind of way. But isn't that what love is all about? Well done, as usual Andrea /// Kudos
