Gentleman

You enjoy his gestures

gentle and formal,

Soft spoken conversationalist,

your ideal man.

 

He opens a door for you,

then lets you go first.

He offers a chair for you,

then gets you a drink.

 

You love his choice of clothes,

clean and simple.

His perfume pleases you,

perfect masculine smell.

 

He doesn’t make advances,

never asks for a kiss.

He keeps his hands in place

to keep your virtue safe.

 

My dear, beautiful friend,

feel safe as you can be.

This wretched, horrible man,

is in love with my brother.
