“Love Tease”

Inspired by the painting of the same name by Rob Steenhorst

I see two on a fishing trip, they are angling sportsmen on a loveless luckless night.
Smooth sounds of jazzy bars fly from their lips, like lures to wind, they cast to get a bite.
They fling their magic lines before the rain falls and gets their love boat soaking wet.
So desperate for a trophy and a prize, they toss them at some strangers they’ve just met.

“Baby baby… you are fine, I’d sure like to take you home and make you mine”
Are these ladies just the innocents in someone else’s game and perfect passion play?
“No baby this is not a line, I’d like to take you home and make you mine.”
Are they looking, to be loved at midnight, all night, hopefully for more than just a day?

I see two women out too late, in the wrong unlikely place, for finding what they seek,
being pawed and bothered, teased and followed, as their answer No! seems too oblique.
Walking faster, their gestures saying “No” I said, “No!” Why do you not yet understand?
While the hunters in the chase, pursue them hearing “No,” with their male desires fanned.

“Baby baby… you are fine, I’d sure like to take you home and make you mine”
Oh ladies are you the innocents in someone else’s game and perfect passion play?
“No baby this is not a line, I’d like to take you home and make you mine.”
Are you looking to be loved at midnight, all night, hopefully for more than just a day?

The hunter loves the hunt more than eating game, the fisherman for him it is the same.
These sporting types are proud to bag n’ brag, catch ‘n release becomes their biggest claim.
There’s only one who is what he seems to be, as humbly he sits straight up and begs,
The street dog will likely get more than all the others, who are tied up in their love tease on two legs.

“Baby baby… you are fine, I’d sure like to take you home and make you mine”
Oh ladies you might be the innocents in someone else’s game, and perfect passion play.
“No baby this is not a line, I’d like to take you home and make you mine.”
You’re looking to be loved at midnight, and all night, hopefully for more than just a day.
