Medieval knights practiced the code of chivalry,
Courted Renaissance madams without any inquiry.
Only 600 years later I practice a lost art,
One that is looked down upon even before it starts.
They say nothing in life comes easy,
But when it does, it is mocked and even called �cheesy.�
They want me to challenge, even intimidate,
But I don�t have time for that I�m here to facilitate,
The exchange of passion, love, and intimacy,
I�m here for reliability not just propinquity.
Why is it a sin for a man to show affection?
I�m only showing love and that I offer protection,
For a heart that may have many footprints,
But that is where I want to leave an everlasting imprint.
I guess treating a girl like a queen is just part of history,
Whether they want a man or a coward is just a mystery.
Perhaps chivalry is extinct; it�s in the past,
Because the fact of the matter is nice guys finish last.
