labelled a rogue

testing the waters again
last fling as a tryout

experienced cold feet
pushing on years
but forgetting wasn't easy

Note: Cherita
A cherita comprises a one-line 
verse, followed by a two-line 
and a three-line verse.

    That knowledge there can sure make one even more aware.

    I love elephants, Hank, and your Cherita is a lovely tribute to that poor old rogue. I especially like the last line!
