There are times
When you make a plan
And there are times
When your plan goes right out the window
This is a story of the latter sort
Michael Buble
For those in the know
Is the crooner of the new millennium
Sauvé and debonair
He exudes a kind of cool
That ladies dig
My dear friend
Has been waiting for years to see him live
I mean this has become a mission
And nothing was going to stop the show
Using all her powers
Friendy sets up a big weekend
Go see Michael at Boardwalk Hall
Stay in a suite
Party the night away
Only problem is
She’s short a guest
Someone to join the scene
To complete the Buble Express
In steps yours truly
Knowledgeable to some degree
Of the MB discography
But also completely tuned into
The bucket list drama of Friendy and Michael
So the night begins with a bottle of champagne
Compliments of the house-
There ended up being a lot of that over the weekend
Friendy was dialed in
Rolling over to the show
We grab our tix at Will Call
Compliments of the house-
Did I mention that keeps coming up?
Well they’re good
Really good
On the floor
With lots of space to dance and move
Another drink
And out comes Michael
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ladies swoon all over the house
He’s wrapping his tour this night
Show 118
And he looks like it
A little rough but no one seemed to care
Anyway as the show rolls on
There’s a part
Where he plays to the back of the house
Actually walks through the venue to a rear stage
Well what goes out
Must come back
And guess who’s right on the aisle
Waiting for his triumphant return
You guessed it
Friendy
Who is now gushing
Because the usher has taken her
Right to where MB is cruising by
And here he comes
With camera rolling
Friendy engages MB
I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!
With a turn
He grabs her hand
And glances over his shoulder
A little eye contact
And he’s off to the stage
Well there was a plan
But this wasn’t part of it
Because now this grown woman
Is jumping up and down like a 12 year old
Who just saw the Beatles
He held my hand!
He held my hand!
I’m never washing it
Never ever ever
It was great
And of course it was captured for posterity
On her iphone
This guy rules
So the concert ends
And our good karma is active
As our car is waiting at the door
To drive us away from the show ahead of the masses
Off to the hot new restaurant of the moment
Martoranos
A nifty Italian place
With great food and a rockin dance floor
We land at eleven
And dine and dance until they close
Compliments of the house-
There it is again
Checking her video
At least 100 times
Friendy is over the moon
And should be under the table
From all the champagne consumed
But not this night
This night just rolled by
And a good plan
Was eclipsed by good karma
That sometimes happens upon us
With the fun and happy it can bring
Compliments of the house-
Of course
