Standing in the mirror
Checking out my frame
one last time,
giving me that 'all over' once again
Ready or not
here I come
Friday night out
with the girls
always fun
Stepping into the front seat
.... the passenger side
Ladies, good evening all
Everyone buckle up...
let's ride
First stop...the little diner
that stays open late
We like it because of the generous servings
they always put on our plates
One settles for salad and sandwich
the other for a hot ham
and extra cheese
I pointed at the cheeseburger
yeah, I'll take one of these
Trying to offset the drinks we'll consume
But we don't want to eat too much
or there won't be any room
We got this ritual
down to a tee
For all the drinking we do
I got to have some food in me
Food finished, finally
but, one of them has to smoke
I slide my heels back on
becuz these pumps
ain't no joke
Walking back to the car
heels clicking
glad it isn't that far
Now...we ready
for whatever the night may bring
Girls just wanna have fun
Laughing,
drinking,
and trying to sing
We've been known
for staying out for days
partying and indulging
Getting lost
in our wild worldly ways
By the end of the party
we always too tired to move
from the cutting up
disco dancing...prancing
with nothing to prove
We finally call it a night
and head out the door
before they turn off the light
But lo and behold
it's always one sucker
who wants to follow us home
He paid for round after round of drinks
thinking he was gonna score
He finally caught the hint
when all of a sudden

'cling-a-ling-ling'
the sound of glass splattered in the place
the music stopped
people looked..and murmured
and the look of rejection
came over his face
On the way home
we recapped the journey
highlighting what a good time
we always have
as long as we
pay our own way

ReplyDeleteYou got it Caroline...because in the end, if we let what doesn't work go we can grow and go to find what it is that's worth it...
