You’re funny (I’ve got money)
in a serious way (and I like to pay)
but I won’t laugh (at least my half)
at your jokes, (like all blokes)
in case you’re (to make sure)
thinking that (you think I’m)
I fancy you (respectful to)
as if - I mean- (your lacquered sheen)
that's masochism. (of feminism.)

I like it. Very good. Only bit I didn't get was 'it's not ageism' right at the end, but that could just be me...

I think it is a little awkward too... how do you imagine the two people?

Tentative, unsure, first date perhaps. Maybe masochism is a darker and more fitting word than ageism???! 'as if - I mean (your lacquered sheen) this is masochism (of feminism.)' I'm starting to think it's not the done thing on here to make overt suggestions though so consider it retracted if I've over commented!
