Iambe started drinking
One night after she came back
And I swear that woman
Could drink any man
Under the table

After a fifth of Jack Daniels
Split between us,
She began to talk.

Now Iambe was never
Much at telling things
About herself, so I was
More than a little surprised.

She didn’t want to dance

I heard about Alaska
And the months she spent there
Dancing for pipeliners

“Good money”
she said

“But you never could stay warm.”

She told me then about Arizona

“too damned hot”
this time she slurred a bit..

I poured her another shot
And gave her a fresh beer to chase it,
Let her drink them both
Then picked her up
And carried her back
To the bed

Once I had her settled
And down to her lace

I went in and turned
The stereo on

And Danced

makes me think of a dance named...well I heard it in a movie or on a t.v. show...years ago, maybe HBO, but the name, you see, isn't for this forum's eyes...it was a form of hula

So that's what it took, eh?
