BOW to the GENTLEMEN SARATOGA BELLE

To The Gentlemen
SARATOGA BELLE

Bow, to the gentlemen
Saratoga Belle -
congregating in the
park, dressed in fancy
frills -
Sip magic mineral
waters, listen to a band-
bow, to the gentlemen
tilt your parasol – flirt -
flirt - if you can.

Hard faced, manly
features, wearing
laced buttoned shoes -
Let your smile loose,
raise a corner of your
mouth, for just a little
while…
It doesn’t hurt to flirt -
flirt if you can.

Expensive Saratoga
trunks packed neatly
for the stay… filled
with glitter, gowns
taffeta and lace -
Bow, to the Gentlemen
stare from the corner of
your eye… you’re just
a passing fantasy, so
go on, flirt for a
little while.
