One More Schmuck at the Dressing Room Door

So sly and slender, far too young,
An actress; oh, I should have known
I'd fall. I can't be rescued now.
She'll have me as a fan, a fan!,
A captive creature, falling still,
And she, if she possessed a net,
Would slyly let it go unused.
It couldn't hurt to have a fan.
An act's an act. A meal is nice.
A graying swain's a ready fool,
I've learned. I should have known.
