A Six Pack Love Affair

After one beer, I noticed her
When first she did arrive
After two beers, I finally could
Look her in the eye
After three beers, I walked over there
Still feeling a bit too lame
After four beers, I finally
Got the nerve to ask her name
After five beers, I asked her out
With butterflies churning inside
After six beers, I passed right out
Without hearing what she replied

It was a six pack love affair
With a girl outside my league
I needed the amber lubricant
To put the courage inside of me
But being a light weight
I passed out upon the floor
And when I awoke, the love of my life
Had already walked out the door

Oh well, maybe at the next party

hahaha , a bit different from the norm, when it's the drunker guy falling for the girl who is ugly but gets prettier as the time goes!! Always fun to see what you have written, Joe.
