'boyfriend' Had Great Swagger
"Boyfriend" Had Great Swagger
"Boyfriend" had great swagger,
in the Supersaver aisle.
I just had to break into an admiring smile.
He moved with a rhythm all his own
maneuvering around for food to take home.
It seemed as if he knew everyone,
stopping and joking and having fun.
I said you know you’re a happy man.
Thank you thank you he said, I am.
He asked me my name.
I did him the same.
And with a sigh
I passed on by.
"Boyfriend" had great swagger
but he didn't have any teeth.
