Looking Dire...On the High Wire

Ferdinand was trying to woo Isabella, who is just out of the picture.

"I'll do anything to make you mine.
I'll write a poem, I'll wear a sign.
Perhaps you'll come with me to dine,
but as for now, I'll walk the line."

I couldn't give him
an applause of hand,
but you have to give it,
to old Ferdinand.

I think it worked.
