You told me
that you were seeking a man
brave as lion
fast as cheetah
strong as moose
wise as owl
and then wondered if I was that man.

I was not
as you later learned.
I was instead
wise as moose
and flighty as owl.
I was in fact
fast as cheetah
but only in bed.

You were disappointed
of course
but only had yourself to blame
as truly
you should seen right away
that I was really
little more than lion.
