"To subjugate the enemy's army without doing battle is the highest of
excellence."

 

What is this?

Cloaked as she was

And frowning - How

I wondered could

I find out what

Or why without asking;

So I did.  What?

 

Which of course

Made it worse.                                                

She took implements

From her purse

And used them tactically.

I tried to recall Sun Tzu

But it was all a blur.

 

I looked about

Frantically for cover.

She stood strategically

Blocking the door

Dabbing at tears

With a tissue.

I was doomed.
