Making a Beeline for Her

Should i come upon an enchanting

Popsy who by my own reckoning

And sight investigation --      

Whether she is ebony or brunette --

Is beautiful in my estimation:

Of a jolly heart and steady soul,

One that's lovelier than Venus--

I will not my wits abandon,

Nor give my eyes a pardon;

 

I mean,

 

One that smells better than roses --

Straightway will I close,

To not perceive her scent, my nose;

 

I say,

 

Of such that tastes sweeter than nectar --

I shall seek nay to procure her taste,

Lest my substance and time I waste;

 

wait,

 

Whose skin is softer than butter --

I will not even at all bother

To touch, hold or caress her.

 

Am I silly to administer

Such injury upon a charming Sis?

For I will forsake apace all business

At hand, and make a beeline for her!
