At A Bar
So I did something I rarely do
Had dinner at a bar last night
Just sitting in
A little calamari salad
To my right a couple
Trying to get to know each other
Glued on smiles
Drinks and small talk
To my left
A lady
Mixing it up with a couple guys to her left
She seemed to be put off by their chat
Something about being single
A story for the girlfriend
I guess it was a lie
She was married
Working in the area
Just taking a break from the day
I represented the polar opposite to her
She mentioned how polite I was.
She seemed very determined to stand up for all women
Making the point about respect,
About how being single isn’t a license to be rude.
I found it pretty funny,
Here was this married lady
Picking a fight with a couple of drunk single guys,
Making a stand for humanity.
I think she would have had a better chance solving world hunger.
