Lounging at the pub last night, just stopped in for a brew when a cute little redhead walked by, a pint in her hand, or two before I knew it, the place near deserted, the barkeep yelled, ‘Last call’ ‘Follow me’, said my new friend, ‘the nights not done at all’ We jumped inside her little red car, into the night she sped the alcohol, the chatter, chasing tales inside my head Still weak with recent cold and flu, all my defenses down I’m shamed to admit, I fell for it, as she turned the conversation around ‘Tell me all about yourself, your hopes, your loves, your dreams what music do you listen to, do you watch much TV’ Explaining that the hours I work, left little time for evening viewing I confessed to a few crushes, on TV’s women of the morning Perhaps, I mentioned a few names, like Meredith, Katie and Kelley thinking she’d find this charming of me, instead she muttered…unstudly then laughing wickedly she drove away, her taillights but a blur promising to blow away, the image I’ve striven for A comforting thought then, crossed my mind with a certain evil glee I’d play her game, rise to the challenge, growing bold, knowing she didn’t see beat her to the punch, I would, ‘fess up here and now I’m just a sensitive, southern guy, with a thing for the morning gals So I trust you now, my fellow poets, to consider all the facts is it not possible to be a stud, with enlightened viewing habits should I instead have answered, “I watch ‘restlin all night long’ kicked back in my recliner, listenin’ to country songs’ The funniest of days is this, for when my new friend wakes she’ll realize the depth of folly when girls in heels dares take and next time she’s out back the pub, with the bad boys having a smoke I hope she remembers the sensitive one, who beat her at her own joke |

I too, like this style on you, but I'm saying that very quietly so ya can't hear. might give ya a swelled head or something!!!) You know that I shall have revenge For I can't let you win my friend It may be "Tracey 0, Duncan 1' But this game has just begun By time you finish work tonight I'll have that score set back to rights If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
