Girl walks into a bar…
June 11, 2007
Girl walks into a bar-
says the name’s
“Poetry – Girl
Poetry.” Guy says “Fine
the name’s Tender – Bar
Tender.” Girl says – “Tender,
I think we’re gonna get on fine,
now – mix me a whisky and soda
and stir it don’t shake it,
while I compose some lines.”
Tender watches Poetry
glide across his floor,
then he says-
“Hey, Poetry – look
you’re like
Poetry in motion”
Poetry laughs
then fixes him with
two cool eyes –
“Tender”
she says
“you’re like the night”
Tender looks at Poetry
and Poetry looks at Tender
and suddenly,
they just both know
what’s on each others mind
-put them together
and they’d make
Tender Poetry-
and for that split moment
they really do think
there is no other kind.
Hi Lydia,
Very clever. I can imagine this performed to a jazzy-blues combo. I was snapping my fingers to an imaginary beat as i read this. I especially like the line: “Hey Poetry – Look you’re like poetry in motion.”
Tender Poetry…is there any other kind? (in my best Jack Nicholson impression)
i really like this one …
plus i think you might get along with
