En-garde, Pret, Allez

I shall throw down the challenge

so take up your arms

for my simple challenge thrown down

is the white glove across your face

you of such astute class would know what this means

so take up your arms

I challenge you to fight a women

the women you so desire

has become bored of your suffocating protection

so take that sword, accept the challenge

for only a coward would not accept the traditions of fencing match

no matter who lays out the challenge

I'm sure you do not wish your desired love

to call you further more a coward

so pick up the challenge

take your arms and stand your ground

en-garde

pret

allez.
