After the Laughter

You dressed in your best I dressed in mine A suit from Armani A silk tie from Klein You made up your face And put on your glitter You kissed up to scarlet And called for the sitter I creased as I waited My smile did the same The TV seduced me Turned on to the game Two minutes to full time: A draw, sudden death You announced you were ready With mint on your breath We arrived at the show It was long, it was boring I didn't complain When you pinched me for snoring Then the interval came We went out for quick drinks You merged like a Monet With lawyers and shrinks In the car you were silent What happened to all The bluff and the chatter You spent in the hall? At least we could talk about The news or the weather Or are we not supposed To grow old together?
