Bar Scene

After nightfall I hear the loud rumbling mufflers of youth On their way to the hottest popular downtown nightclubs Where they imbibe too much, dancing, cruising the night away After midnight, the sotted fellows become more uncouth Some girls pair up for safety’s sake and hail a waiting cab A few hover with drinks in a carefully concealed booth Waiting for a boy, a set of keys, to stagger over Let them take advantage of his inexperienced youth Did they spot earlier, ignored, one of those boorish chubs Cruising the night away, where they imbibe too much, dancing Slip away late in the morning like a successful sleuth.
