Excuse Me! Ladies.... First Poem by doug bentley

gentlemen,

follow me the wise man said
but he walked behind.
leonard cohen, canada's
permanent poet laureate

on the manly gesture
of keeping a lady's back

cover, and imply: how
canadian cowards learn
elementary etiquette,

facesaving some from
a further lifetime
of social idiocy,
situational psychosis....

...and, hopefully,
my dream of having a few
uninterrupted conversations
