The guy who took my beer
was more than a drunk
he was a swaggering asshole
didn't even try to hide it'
or move away
rubbing in salt
to the fact
that the bar had been shut
for half an hour
there was no point letting on
I was sour about it
or challenging him
it could only have ended
one way
and hey, it was just a beer
but I was seething
and my girl sensed it
I told her why
but not to make a fuss
not my style
she said
trust me
moments later
this halfwit was bathing
in the light
of my beauty's smile
they danced a while
then she asked him for a drink
and he gave her mine
do you like lime cordial in your beer?
she asked, all innocent and beguiling
he said
'nope'
well my husband does
so this must be his
you don't mind if I take it back
do you - you thieving dope
What was he going to do?
she was walking away
leaving him to stew
with no juice
I could have kissed her
I believe I did
and then some
