A Unicorn Walks Into a Bar

He walks into the bar Like a movie star With swagger Out pouring the lager Topped by a mop Of such mythical proportion It hushes the crowd With its absorption More adorn Than a unicorn Waving a pompadour As big as a brontosaur 9/3/2019 Swagger Poetry Contest Sponsored by Line Gauthier

I would of loved this poem just because of the title. But the description of swagger triggered so many hilarious memories I laughed out loud. Startling my poor dogs;) Fantastic poem!!

Something is wrong if you do not turn this into a song. The title deserves more press.

There's videos of him, an impressive beast! He was retired due to his trademark move, whipping his head back and knocking out cowboys... why you see some of them wearing hockey face masks.

I have to say OUCH. Watch where you're pointing that horn. Just because you're mythical and mystical... well look at your brontosaur thing; they went extinct. He cockily responds, "Did they?" Hurumph maureen, I know nothing about the judging of these contests, but this is a winner in my book!!!

Maureen McGreavy The Insolent Rib
Date: 9/4/2019 7:13:00 AM

Tee hee ;), While I have dated some suave dudes, never landed me a pompadour. Thank you Jeff! Let's hope Line likes it. xomo
