"Poet Knows It"
Roses are red, violets are blue;
I'd like to go out to dinner with you.
We can have dessert there, then with any luck
When we get home we can have a nice... coffee.
Phil raised his eyebrows as he read over the note which had been left on his desk, where anyone might've seen it (and in Barton's case, probably had). He knew the handwriting, of course he did, and he glanced up as Bucky poked his head around the door pane.
"You chickened out at the end of the last line," Phil said.
"More like I wanted you to fill in the blanks for yourself," Bucky muttered.
"To use your words, 'with any luck', I might fill in your blanks later. But not on a first date."
Bucky brightened. "Second date?"
"I'm open for negotiations."
I'll bet you are, Phil.
In honour of Poet's Day. Not the first time I've had a character descending into inappropriate poetry to woo another person.
