What you request, I can’t
honor and chat,
(or, at least, I shant)
like “that”,
because
as you say,
in your own way,
the man who thus texts does
not show the courage,
nor the communication skills
to cause the heartfelt thrills
of a well-mannered, gentler age.
So instead, as you cunningly suggested,
you’ll find, with this sonnet, your phone number requested.
