I think most of us males know this feeling.
Male Dilemma Approaching now with trepidation Heart thumping anticipation Brow soaked in perspiration Throat tightening asphyxiation. Echoed voices, feeling fearful Clouded mind now in freefall Transfixed eyes becoming tearful How can she be quite so cheerful? Just in there! She softly motions Brain is racing with emotions Scented whiff from bottled lotions Perfumed aroma drifts from potions. Trembling hands begin to reach Wishing I was at the beach Sacred law, I’m about to breach Remembering, what Dad did preach Can’t do it, collapsed in beanbag Feeling like a rung out dishrag To all you men, keep reading a mag Never, delve into a woman’s handbag.

David,
I love the mock-heroic touch and you held it beautifully right to the end. Witty, but more than that, meaningful, too. Well done!
