The Juggling

Impressive as it is, the juggling
Of girlfriends falls just short of wonderful,
Despite your bold contention that the pull
Of art has all the women clamouring
To be tossed up and down. If anything,
They seem distraught to be available
For these manoeuvres. "You're an animal,"
The last one said, as she threw back the ring.

In fact, if they had been as clamorous
As you maintain, I think I would have heard
The noise, out in the garden. It's absurd
To say that what you do is glamorous,
Or that it shows that you were amorous;
The women, I'm sure, use another word.
