You may attempt to armour yourself against my advances, but like any fish,

A most courteous attempt at backpetaling, but like the aforementioned fish,
it does contain an odour.

One need not be a fighter to teach grace and courtly speech or manners. Why,
many an athlete has sutdied with the dance master to improve their footwork

Brennas home, call 202-291-3562 for directions).

In service,
