The Wrong Bait

A fellow was trying to lead
A sweet young thing to bed, to breed.
“You’ve read poems for hours
And sent oodles of flowers
But, for chocolate, I would have readily agreed.”

  11. Hmm. Chocolate is good, but chocolette is even better.

    Seriously though, the poems would've bagged me -- no chocolate needed!

  12. Interesting. It is oddly allegorical although it may not have intended to be so. Very interesting.

    Maybe the effect of many poets/perspectives. Hmmm. That says something about humanity as a whole doesn't it? :P

    Nice!

  15. You should have saved this one for Valentine's Day. Speaking of which, what did you do for the lucky Mrs. Cosmo? Chocolate, poems and flowers? Not for lack of good breeding... ;)
