On her slipper clad feet,
But this clump of a leg
Can’t keep up with the beat.
If I were still young.
If I were not maimed,
Then the girl in my arms,
Would not look in such pain.
I wish I could glide with her -
Float on the floor,
Sweep her up for a kiss,
Tell of my amour.
I have my orders.
Cannot be entranced,
By this wisp of a woman,
Wincing as we dance..
~~~
Watch the boy.
Befriend the fool.
Scare the traitors.
Flatter them all.
Advise the old man.
Hex the scum.
Drink the potion.
Kiss no one.
