10-Reversing Course

Reversing Course

It seems I got the short end of the stick   

when toying with this girl.  I start to sing  

an ardent song, presuming it would click 

with her who’d cater to my worshipping   

advance. But she commences making eyes   

at me. She might as well play cavalier,   

prepared to clutch an amatory prize. 

I felt my dormant passion start to rear.  

Forget my former quest of keeping her 

enraptured by my captivating tune. 

Her piercingly arresting eyes would stir  

my fancy to an amatory swoon.  

And rather than supposing she’d draw near  

to me, I felt resigned to nibble on her ear.
