Quintessential Gentleman
He was the quintessential gentleman with tie correctly knotted.
Whenever he entered a room, the women were besotted.
Every Grande Dame had him on her dining list,
while all their daughters secretly were yearning to be kissed.
Little girls adored him and their mothers preened and fussed.
When they knew he’d be there, even grandmas showed up trussed.
Artists painted his portrait. Sculptors sculpted his form.
Everywhere he went, slavish attention was the norm.
Every woman on the subway seemed to hope he would accost her,
and every social circle had him topmost on their roster.
All in vain, for every single mother, grandma, sister
was not even in the running, for he preferred a mister.
Fandango’s prompt word today is quintessential.
Maybe Pence can get him a discount on a conversion therapy program in Indiana. 🤪
