I sent my majordomo to your amanuensis
|
To ascertain your feelings, and strip away pretenses
|
And then a few days later, you sent back your vizier
|
And though he spoke quite courtesously
|
His meaning wasn't clear
|
Not to my majordomo
|
Not to my majordomo
|
|
So I sent my acolyte to further our relations
|
And he engaged your ministers in lengthy conversations
|
One or two were willingto discuss the matter frankly
|
We then received your advocate
|
Who told me that you thanked me
|
Also my majordomo
|
Also my majordomo
|
|
I therefore told my counselor to offer my best wishes
|
And he was greeted cordially with smiles and festive dishes
|
I further was encouraged by a note in your handwriting
|
Delivered by your confidant, it seemed you were inviting
|
|
My plenipotentiary with great felicitations
|
To join your chief of protocol in swift negotiations
|
But something must have happened
|
A secret door had closed then
|
The word from my ambassador was you were indisposed
|
And could not meet my majordomo
|
There's nothing I can do now
|
I sent my majordomo
|
I sent my majordomo
|
