Once I a bumbling fumbler in my handling of women,
I’m timidly fearful of the trigger mechanisms
that my dismal advances unwittingly might release -
like sneezing from pepper, or coughing from acrid smoke.
Token of absurdity, like the village idiot transposed
to the closed circle of the Queen's court, who resorts
to chortles in sessions of silence, smiling inanely
to kill the pain from some inner inadequate hollow.
Emboldened now with frequent booze, I flash
a brash personality, like an oversized
prized penis, seen as a shock measure -
a treasure to take their wandering attention by storm.
Regardless of their sham outraged ado,
I've got the knack - no matter what I do!
