Good one, George, though I can't help feeling you've had the private detectives on my tail observing the way I live.

My only quibble is that the second line in the last stanza is short. It needs something like

So learn this ancient verity
If lovely lady you would win:
Just learn to fake sincerity -
Then boy! You're in!

Well, "lovely " may not be the right word, but it fills the metre.
