With feminine wiles you flout the rules of play,

blatantly using your coquettish charm to disarm

opponents, or beguile smiling strangers to range

themselves as allies, who'll heave to your devious ends.

I send you signals, but communication falters

when you alter the name of the game and blame my efforts -

deftly dodging any point of logic -

bodging it! - leading the discord to a shambling debacle.

A web of dissension lingers as you bring tactical

games into play - ways to trip me up

and scupper my calm. I flounder down the road,

goaded with taunts and malicious innuendo.

     It's better far we cease to have such fun,

     if that's the way that life with you gets run!
