..The Piano Man..

She sat there, in the wine bar waiting,

This chap she was seeing she had just started dating,

In his early forties, mild mannered, and polite,

Steve she met on an internet site,

Sipping her wine that almost matched her lipstick,

Smiled and says that’s done the trick,

Little did he know of her, as they had only met once before?

He wanted to see her again she was a bit unsure,

So they agreed to meet at the wine bar known as Trego

Conversation was awkward it didn’t sort of flow,

Some guy in the corner playing what you could call blues,

In a dapper suit and bow tie and very shinny shoes,

Steve was talking to her but she was barely listening,

The guy at the Piano was so much more interesting,

He had a white teeth smile, and dark slick back hair,

Steve carried on chatting; she didn’t seem to care,

The wine bar was filling up there was now a queue at the bar,

Steve was now drinking lemonade as he had come in his car,

Clarrissa sensed that the date was doomed,

Made an excuse to visit the ladies room,

Once inside, she phoned her mate,

Asked her if she could call and interrupt the date,

Leaving the ladies and now back at the table,

Hoping Steve would believe the oncoming fable,

Miraculously her phone started ringing,

Just as the piano man started singing,

She answers the call, Steve totally unaware,

Her fingers were running through her hair,

That’s awful, you poor thing she went on to say,

Yes of course I will leave straightaway,

Steve concerned as he had just bought another round,

Caught unawares and somewhat dumbfound,

Got to go Steve sorry it’s my friend,

She has had some bad news so the date will have to end,

Shall I call you perhaps we can do this again?

Really sorry Steve I feel a total pain,

The guy at the Piano glances as she crosses the floor,

As she makes her exit, swiftly to the door,

She drops her bag her lipstick roles under his seat,

She tried to pick it up looking somewhat discreet,

On the piano was his card that she slipped into her hand,

Gave him that sensual look that some guys understand,

Clarrissa then shuffled through the door and made her getaway complete,

Hoping next time the piano man, is the guy she prefers to meet.
