Checking Out Chics

Me sweetheart gave me a shirt with lettering “how to pick up chics” I dressed to kill and put on a wig wore a stylish hat ,I looked like Fabrio this was better than the dating page no calling and no waiting I wore me shirt uptown surely I would get me a pretty one I stood by the deli where the young ones mingle I dropped me hanky as instructed oh boy, let’s see who picks it up one came over and handed it back “ you may need this if you sneeze’ well that was only just one subtle try another one came along and who scooped it up ‘oh sir, you dropped your bib’ ‘you may need this if you burp’ two down, I hope there’ll be more! an older lady came up to me and said “if you want to get one you have to be young” “look at me” she said “I’m not young” but I would certainly like to know you” “I too am looking for someone” “one that will be kind to his honey” “when you are done at this deli I will follow you out” but may I have a tissue before I sneeze’? she did sneeze and her hat and wig fell off she was me sweetheart looking for a rooster!
