The paradoxical refusal

Tallness and youthfulness to her credit,

Approachability being at ease,

Material wants on its extreme,

Her freedom of marital status,

And Living only with a maid,

All put together couldn’t make her

Grant me and instead repelled my offer

Against all my credibility established,

Suggesting that she must have grown

Immune to the purrs of cats,

Who have been around her.
