A Little Deception

When you and your friends are at the bar, 
you spot a lovely women from afar. 
How do I talk to her, thinking of a scheme. 
He asked a friend to work as a team.

“Go stand by her, when I get up, quickly walk outside.”
I don't know if this plan will work, but at least I tried.
His friend goes over and minute later he stands up.
He walks over and stops her from drinking the cup.

“Ma'am don't, that guy just put something in your drink.”
“Who did? Where did he go?” “I scared him off I think.”
“Thank you, you could have just saved my life right there.”
“Yeah that guy didn't look right, mind if I pull up a chair?”

The rest of the night went better than great.
Since I was her savior, she said yes to a date.
Is this genius or criminal, that's for you to decide.
But it was sure fun doing it and going for the ride.

HI Chis....this is one clever write...I believe guys still pull off this chick prank at bars and night clubs. Preying on any lil honey they can. How unfortunate. I wonder what the profile of these women are? A winning write....sure made me think....my girls are growing up and I hope this never happens to them...let alone, hope they won't go to bars. :)

Now that is one clever way to win a lady's trust, Chris. I wonder if this is actually done by men who want to meet women. Congratulations on your well-deserved top win! Love, Carolyn

It's very clever. Now if this pretend "savior" turns around and actually gives her a date rape pill later on, then it's criminal; otherwise, he's GENIUS. Congrats on your big win!
