‘Nother ‘lie-in’ this morning; wasn’t easy as rollin’
over pretending to sleep like you’d only dreamed
you were awake, bit more complicated than that;
even to me the explanation’s vague, if a wry sort
of having your way with the object of desires not
reciprocated is she who is really ‘interested’ only
in a cup of tea; anything exotic proposed is seen
as unsolicited volunteering to make that brew
It presupposes you’ll be compliant; despite your
complacent ‘badinage’ of semi-rigid immediacy
being ignored as too obvious a ploy to take that
seriously - besides tea’s a known necessity - so
the answer is to roll over generously releasing a
sigh of contentment - and return to sleep
