A man for all seasons
Keeps secret his reasons
Until his game has been played.
Ladies fall for his charms
When held in his arms
But they’re destined to be betrayed
For him love’s a contest
His joy is in the conquest
But then he’s off and away.
The sweet words he’s spoken
Leave the ladies heartbroken
But much smarter too, they say.

It reminded me of the song The Sadder But Wiser Girl from the Music Man. Oh this guy does have lessons to teach if you are unfortunate enough to fall for him.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is apt. There are many like him. Love the clever rhyming in this, Bev.
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling. Enjoyed this thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteHa, I do know the type. You have described him well!
