She said
you can lay your cards on me
chance your jack of hearts on me
bet on every part of me

you can hugger-mugger me
make a smoky snug of me
brew and mash a mug of me

you can tip and spoil me
ooze your charm and oil me
dashingly despoil me

you can roller-coaster me
frame and Wanted poster me
beat your chest and boast of me

you can jolly roger me
leap on board and lodge in me
munch and jammy dodger me

you can Roman soldier me
come again unsolder me
avalanche and boulder me

you can wholly martyr me
even though the smarter me
self-regarding part of me
says no.

He said
that would make my day.
