“Wine and women, hold the song! ”
sing the Wall Street brokers,
going wine and women long––
song is just for jokers.
I too speculate in wine;
never will invest
in women––fear the dotted line
signed at their behest.
You can buy them for a song,
that’s why I’m a poet,
even when you call them wrong,
wining them with Moët.
If you read a verse or two
of your latest sonnet
most will lift their skirts for you––
place large bets upon it.
