Is the tassle worth the hassle?

...and what you're getting wrong mesdames

Is we're an age when chasing you around a table

Or across a park after midnight

Doesn't pay off

And to be frank isn't worth

The stinging sweat on our ballsacks

We work punishing hours and don't get nearly enough rest

To be hassling you on lunch break

On the walk to tube stations

While you shop for negligee

You should try pressing those digits

Letting your name flash

So we can answer and say

"I'm too busy" "Call me later"

Or, a favourite

Let it ring off

It is not that you're not pretty or sexy

You are, in actual fact both mesdames

You're both and more - hence why we've made a move

Not too bold and asked you for drinks

Or invited you

To a house party

But what's it for if you're not to reply

Not to acknowledge

Leave us unanswerable

Put that shoe on the other foot

You'd be put off too

Like seeing how kebab's are made

Or catching a clip of birth

Two or three days after you'll waltz past

And forget to mention anything 'bout the call

And we ask, in formality, "How are you?"

You chirp but don't dare reverse the question

Maybe scared we'll answer in truth

But girls, ladies, women, mesdames

We're a gentle bunch and not hunting

This is not a safari

We want to know

How compatible we are

And get memorable moments

Before the bus takes you

Under the covers

In New Forest
