She Offered Me a Kiss

She offered me a kiss, which I turned down,
Having affection coming out my ears;
Unkind rejection used up all my tears.
She offered me the wisdom of a clown,
Which only made me shake my head and frown.
She told me she was filled with nameless fears,
Which I was offered, and a dozen beers,
Made by a brewer of debased renown.

In all, her offers were detestable,
And though she kept at it, and tried all night
To woo me, I did not give up the fight.
She offered me a rare comestible
That smelled bad, and was indigestible,
And I riposted as I thought was right.
