An acidic little experiment with word-economy and rhyme.

Just a pinch She thought As he sat in his high-backed chair It's a cinch She thought As she ruffled her master's hair As she made His drink He glanced up, in the firelight With a playful Wink - And she thought, maybe not tonight.

Clever, wicked lass! Entertaining and precocious wordplay, m'dear! And the fact that you painted a bit of an Edward Gorey scenario with words is an even greater plus! Fantastically well done!
