Ghazal #4 Romantic Version Using the Structural Form and Rhyme But Not the Meaning of Ghazal #3

They say his love is super, the swooning female said,

fearing that the noble Casanova had run or fled?

 

No, this Great-Lover-In-Chief did stand his sworn ground

and worked and worked his romantic wiles before bed.

 

staying up late romancing as often he is want to do,

he sought sexual liberty and stood convention on its head

 

and considered whether or not his work was through

and had decided regarding sex the US was under fed

 

and had had enough of what Victorians wanted to eschew,

and so with aficionados in tow he headed straight for bed.
