I can look at girls
From young to mature women
And appreciate.

I can see the curls,
Slinky dresses they are in
Going on a date.

Little black dress with slit up the side
Covers everything but doesn’t hide,
Entices to make a man want a taste
From ruby lips to slender waist.

But I only watch
As others take them away,
For I remember
And think them not as a catch,
No matter their age
Just little girls at their play
Too young for a proper match.

So when at my door
Wishing to come in and play,
It’s then I implore
That they nicely go away
For it is my age,
I remember them at school
And now that I'm the old fool.

Hey handsome won’t you take a chance,
I’m sure you remember how to dance,
And you are so gentle and kind
Please to your body take mine
As we sway to the music of the night
The holding will make it seem right.

I’m sure it is nice,
And you’ve blossomed very well,
But ask me not twice
For no is too hard to tell
As my heart does rage.
Let me keep the memory
Of the offer you’ve give me.

I think some red wine
Will numb the lusty old fool,
Erasing my mind

And letting me cool.
