To Andreas, Who likes his life subtle. Who likes his oranges to be sweet, but not intoxicatingly so. Who likes his cakes to be well made, but not daringly so. Who likes things to be new to him, but not quixotically so. Who likes things to be interesting, but not overbearingly so. |

Had felt it was too short so added another stanza originally, and considered adding more.
But have decided to leave it as 2 stanzas.
Originally wanted to use the word "parfait" as an example rather than cakes or oranges etc.
The 3rd stanza is below.
Who likes to be out amongst forest trees,
but not attempt to be their brethren.
Who wants a woman who will make him smile,
but not one who'll make him die for her.
