Henry's Ankles, a poetic entrant
Henry's Ankles
by Leifr Johansson
The fair regard the ladies make
Are all for only ankles' sake
They care not for his foot or leg
But only how these bones are peg'd
Henry knows nought, I am afear'd
Might think what's Best is just his beard
But ladies glances will not rise
To anywhere above his thighs
You'd think the ladies might at least
Take notice how he fills his piece
But you'll not find what lady knows
The curves are found beneath his hose
They care not for his doublet's line
That shows off his male shape so fine
The set of cap, or cut of head
They think of not, when all is said
This man they should see as a whole
The handsome shape with handsome soul
But they care not of message sent
Their aim upon his ankles bent
