If you drizzle her with diamonds,
if you swaddle her in mink,
if you take her out for evenings
of exotic food and drink
you might be broke before you know
if your motive’s pure as snow
or merely something murkily ulterior.
Copy women. Do your wooing
with no more than subtle guile --
the impression that you’re listening
and a Mona Lisa smile.
It’s a wooing more intensive.
Plus, it’s so much less expensive --
and, regardless of its motive, far superior.
