The most interesting person
in any bar
is usually the bartender
You find out
if you're lucky
The best ones lie
between each smile
while most lack such ambition
The stack of Quick Draw slips
a reminder
you wouldn't be here
without her
While the Joker Poker gives you the finger
and the new jukebox robs you
of music worth hearing
You're not yet old enough
to join the day drinking fraternity
Could be worse
most nights you avoid
going to strip joints
to throw away money
like an athlete failing a drug test
you couldn't pass either
