Taking their seats in opposition
around an earthen table,
a svelte young lady enters the room
wearing little but a disfigured crown

She carefully concocts
bourbon sodas over ice,
weaning a despondent bottle
of its fleeting auburn tears

As the seated ones
lose their inhibitions,
an old game is transformed
by a new one that is spun

...I’m told nobody won

Hey I remember that game! Only it was a pop bottle. All I remember is a closet and chapped lips and braces...

The braces weren't mine, neither were the chapped lips. It was my first boy/girl party.
I was not impressed. ~L

"Not impressed", eh?

Some boys/guys just try too hard to make some things "impressive"...

Even things that are perfectly natural
