Poets fool

Her eyes are like doe’s and lips, like the rose.

Can doe’s eyes and the rose, like hers, excite?

Her hair is like coal and her skin, like gold.

Can coal and gold like hers stimulate man?

Her breasts are the apple and teeth, the pearl.

Can apples and pearl, like hers, entice man?

Poets fool you as you want to be fooled.
