to win her over, make
her happy
with gold
and silver.
with rings
and bracelets.
bouquets of flowers.
expensive things.
i told her jokes
to make her laugh.
i bought her a car,
a mink,
a house.
i dropped to my knee
and gave
her me.
i danced the jig.
still it wasn't
enough.
i was the court jester,
she was
the queen.
