For Lilian


Another boring Monday
Not much happening for me
Signed on to channel Japan
On IRC
I got a little message
From far across the sea
A private chat initiation
Via DCC

I thought:
"Oh, GREAT."
"I'll have to change my nick from 'WAI.'
"This is bound to be
Another lonely GUY
Who thinks that I'm a woman
Delicate and shy
It'll take me 15 minutes
To convince him not to try."

But instead of manly bluster
What I got gave me a thrill
The call originated from
Exotic Brazil
Just what the doctor ordered
To cure me of my ills
A Japanese princess
By the name of "Lil"

Calm down, mister
You've got to take it slowly
Walk, don't run
If you wanna get to know me
Just relax a little
Don't rush to take the bait
Good things come
To those who wait

Her saucy sense of humor
Really makes my days
Her sexy conversations
Arouse me in such ways
I'll have to win her over
I can, I will, I may
Her heart and soul I'll conquer
I am smitten and amazed

I really come alive
Every time our chat commences
Her verbs are all declined
In just the right tenses
And when I get her e-mails
I drop all my defenses
And dream of little houses
With white picket fences

I hate anticipation
But I'll gladly bide my time
A jewel that glows this brightly
Is such a precious find
I didn't think that it could happen
That I'd fall in love "on line"
But I really want this woman
And I'm gonna make her mine

Calm down, mister
You've got to take it slowly
Walk, don't run
If you wanna get to know me
Just relax a little
Don't rush to take the bait
Good things come
To those who wait
