/// Here The Courtship Rolf wants to pursue
has run into a problem or two.
Her top window’s unlocked,
but the others are blocked
and it seems that he cannot fit through.
/// Ilse managed to let it be known
that she’d be in her room all alone.
Rolf has lowered with strings
the bouquet that he brings
meant to mask his too potent cologne.
/// “Window hinges,” she tells him, “are worn.
Push on through, it’s like being reborn.”
As Rolf forces his hips
past the frame, something rips.
He’s inside, but his trousers are torn.
/// Without knowing just where he was going,
Rolf fell down where she does all her sewing.
Thus, instead of romance,
she repaired the boy’s pants,
but she peeked a bit at what was showing.
