A snack, hon. Is there anything to eat?  
The way to a man's heart still through his stomach,  
and Rose, if that's her real name, still sweet --  
she runs a little house on the Potomac,  
where they make men of power feel at home.  
Yes everything is just like in the books  
inspired by the ancients, let's pick Rome,  
but better dental hygiene from the looks  
of Rose's perfect smile, and all is well.  
It's grapes and cheese for supper, with champagne.  
He'll try ignore the message on the cell,  
and in the morning, back to his campaign.  
For now, though, can relax and not be nervous.  
Love sold and packaged, neatly, as a service.
