Four rules for dating Ninjas

If you want to take a Ninja to dinner
you have to ask real nice
You have to sneak up on her
whisper quite quietly
and get out of the way
before her blade slices your way

If you want to take a Ninja
to meet your parents
you have to make her think
it was all really her idea
you have to let her sneak up on them
and hope they can conceal their
surprise that you know a girl
at all, much less a Ninja

If you want to take a Ninja to bed
you have to lie down real slow
slip under the covers
let her find you there
you have to make a game of it
hide and seek, parry and pursuit
you have to overcome
your fear of knives

If you want to take a Ninja down the aisle
you have to plan it out real careful
find out her list of enemies
be sure they aren't invited
you have to let her pick out the cake
and let her cut it her way
and be very very careful
as you lick it out of her palm

Wouldn't a ninja prefer having her enemies invited?

I like this one and the sharpness of it all.

Funny and yet very sober at the same time.
