I see the intelligence behind the smile
The crystal clear thought and charming wile
While I don't belive you mean any harm
I know this for truth - you're a hard lady to charm

I stuggle and totter and try to keep calm
But from a distance I hear a disturbing alarm
You're far away and without an approach
And I must proceed on the path for least reproach

Forgive me dear lady I fear I'm undone
The struggle to win you is a colossal one
Moments ago you ignited a spark
But the buring has me gutted and left my life stark
Some half remembered verses of a poem I was actually brave / foolish / gay enough to utter. The full flow is lost to time, but I had practised it enough to remember what little remains.

It must have worked because she married me.
Picture is of my wife as she was back in the day.

Here for posterities sake then. God I feel old.
