1817

ebony fair lady
with pins in her hair
bows politely at the suitor coming her way
care to dance? care to write to me
like they did back in the day
the Victorian era
when love was uninhibited
love was patient
love had time to grow love
was slow.

ebony fair lady
with pins in her hair
bows so lady-likely to the same suitor as he walked away
they're other men in the room she muses
"i'll have mine before the sun gets low"
and she'll revel in the thought of taking love slow
don't
forget
to
write
me.....
