He was reading this note

That his partner just wrote

When to his surprise

These words met his eyes

And his heart rose up into his throat.

"Bare with me" it read

So Bobby leapt on the bed

Tore off his clothes

Struck a suggestive pose

And soon discovered he'd been somewhat misled.

The look on Eames' face

Froze Bobby in place

Oh shit! He was screwed!

She hadn't meant NUDE

(It appeared his instincts were misplaced).

Grabbing his pants

Bobby risked a quick glance

And just about blew a fuse

Eames was ... REMOVING HER SHOES!

His heart resumed its double-quick dance.

He'd always thought hope

Rode a slippery slope

But as her bra hit the floor

His doubts flew out the door

Unexpected but he thought he could cope.

... some time later ...

As a lover he was sated

As a pedant, deflated

Since he would not be there

Had Alex not misspelled bear

Proper spelling was clearly over rated.
