These days,
it’s an exclamation,
a phrase with one sense.
At this, and I just wince!
Once upon a time,
it was a verb that was superb.
Yes, indeed sublime—
it was. Back then, it hadn't
been spoken spitefully.
It had the primary,
patent definition:
“to dotingly win over or move”.
Now, regrettably,
that meaning is secondary,
inferior in reference to love.
Nowadays, “to court”
is more a woeful
than gleeful exclamation.
“To court!”
Straight to court we go…
to get a divorce!
I wince, and whimper…
We are a super litigious society, people sue for any and everything!
