I just want to win a good woman. Where's the club of competitive male writers? Who am I trying to be better than, these days?
Are we not ranked? Can a man not increase his own worth through mastery of his craft? Are we not a competitive sex? The writer-man pursues her with the written word. I feel young and rambunctious. Spar with me.
So, the penis mightier than the sword? Lure her with your - clever - linguistics? To whit, a war of wit to titillate your date? Alas, the lass will pass on your pass, if she has any class, you'll be flat on your dignity.
I'd rather success, I confess, in the market, than in tit-for-tat words, tossed to poetics. But a courtship, I think, needs private attention; the skills of a man greaten genetics, In the eyes of his prize; so he comes again, Once gambled ambitions have realized their end.
