The gift you offered
is inappropriate, Mister Samson.
It was ill-received,
and I’ll thank you not to bring it up again.

Why? Well, if I must explain:
no aspect of it provided an instant
of sexual gratification
or graft
or even prurient interest.

It was banal what you offered
Mister Samson
and unless you up your gift-giving prowess
I don’t see any way
you’ll be able to convince me
to shoot the governor.

Oh, ice cream donuts?
Now we’re getting somewhere.
