so brilliantly bright
and unintentionally brave
I can be so terribly provocative
sometimes............
so I feel that always while in
your esteemed presence
I must at least try
to appear to behave
most times though
I fail rather quite
spectacularly
Thank God
you really don't seem
to mind all that much
as mutual attraction
allows one to be so
forgiving
but actually
I think you rather enjoy
my naughty antics
and you know what
frankly
so do I.................
