Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Away At a Strip Club

Away at a strip club
No clothes are on me
I misread the club rules
Now I feel silly

I’d removed my jacket
White shirt and black pants
Then off came my boxers
I wanted to dance

Two big burly bouncers
Dragged me off the floor
Though I’m still butt naked
They show me the door

I flag down a taxi
Although I’ve no cash
I’m dropped at my girlfriend’s
To her door I dash

She pays the cab driver
And gives him a tip
One look at her stern face
I’m on a guilt trip

She throws me a bath robe
And I put it on
Then I realise that
My work clothes are gone

Although it’s past midnight
She drives me straight back
And gets my belongings
Then gives me some flack

I say that I’m sorry
Won’t do it again
And if I go clubbing
From drink I’ll abstain!
