Befriended by a billowing beast
Who came a knocking on my door
Smiling in a bullish way
Was a fearsome minotaur.
‘Excuse me sir, not to intrude
But so you have some sugar you could lend?
I’ve just moved into the neighbourhood,
I hope such Impertinence doesn’t offend.’
Nervously i filled the sugar bowl
He regaled its pewter beauty
‘Sir you are most erudite’
Gave a wink ‘you are a cutie!’
This is why I’m on this date
I didn’t think its wise to refuse.
I’m too much of a simpering coward
To upset a man with sharpened hooves.
