a man in a top hat
donned in black tie and tails
sauntering with a gentleman’s cane
with a gentleman’s air.
Good Evening!
Enchanté.
You look lovely this evening.
May I have this dance?
After you.
You dance delightfully.
May I call on you and your family later this week?
I have your father’s permission to make you my wife.
Call me Mad as a Hatter, but I prefer the
man in faded jeans
dressed in white oxford, untucked
walking with confidence and contentment
with a gentle man’s heart.
Hey, babe!
So good to see you.
You look amazing tonight.
Let’s dance.
Take my hand.
It feels good with you in my arms.
C’mon, love, let’s go on home.
Will you share the rest of your life with me?
Yes, Mad Hatter that I am,
I much rather prefer the man in faded jeans…..

Thisandthat
the jeans are a whole lot more comfortable as well...as i am sure is the company. nicely done Lisa!
I like this..happy endings either way! Thanks..
So right!!
Oxfors are nice to knockabout - but give me a man in Egyptian cotton any night out. And as a rule an Oxford should always be tucked in? I mean it would look simply sloppy as sin hanging out and about. Don't you really agree? thats how it should look if he had a pedigree.
you did it with lovely or funny conversations in a poetic form...
perfect magpie!

The heart wants what the heart wants-- it knows no reason... Sigh,
A lovely love tale.

Thanks for the comment -- on my blog I got a BIG laugh out of what you said you made my day , all you say about the Phantom is true -- I was trying to do a dark piece instead of all sunshine and butterflies and I guess I did.
Anyway thanks for visiting your comments and thoughts are appreciated.

Fun post! But the top hats do sound appealing... I'm here from Jingle's Rally.
