Is that a world I see, sir, under your hat?

Is that a world I see, sir, under your hat? Christopher Fry1994
       Welcome.
Arenas of less tranquil a nature             than yours hope you are never boring.
Older than I? Entertained if not pleasing you’ll find me,             at least dulcet and comely.
Younger are you? Well then, you’d count my wisdom’s             value in chasing your dreams.
Never ask me to cook for you. It’s not my style.             I’m more versed with the words I’ve spent successfully reaming out many pleasure paths             for bodies less beautiful than yours.
Please find ways to go home past two or three.             I like to sleep cuddling my toes in my own warmth. I’d rather talk till dawn at least by half.
Married? Bring your best friend to lunch             if that’s all you can imagine. Keep in mind I will find you both fascinating.             Without others my soul ruminates                         enough to stop my aged heart.
