Deliahs Place

Delilah’s read the marquee But Delilah was really old Gus. A man you don’t mess with or anger A regular old ornery cuss. But Delilah’s was on the marquee For Delilah brought thoughts of delight. And delightful thoughts just had to be What brought me in that night For I’m just new to the area And I’m trying to simply fit in. I came in with my custom built pool cue But I’m hanging around for the sin. It’s just for local enjoyment And everyone knows where it’s at. With pool tables right down the middle And pretty girls just out the back. Music – if played, it is country. And beers are a dollar plus tax. You can get girls to play 8-ball Or you can just stare at their racks. But I’m just new to the area And I’m trying to simply fit in. I came in with my custom built pool cue But I’m hanging around for the sin. There’s Terrie, the one in the cutoffs. Standing up there at the bar. She comes in a custom Comaro But leaves in a customer’s car. And Sheila’s the one at the jukebox. She’ll dance for you all evening long. Just give her a smile and a few beers And she can be yours for a song. Me – I’m just new to the area And I’m trying to simply fit in. I came in with my custom built pool cue But I’m hanging around for the sin. contest: Play Me a Cheating Song 2nd place finish in contest

Great write Mike. Booze, billiards and broads - the killer B's - and it don't get any better than that. That, "just trying to simply fit in" stuff can get us into a lot of trouble. Joe

Great write, Mike. I love your description of "Delilah's Place" place and the women who could be yours "for a song." Congratulations on your win in Paula's contest! Love, Carolyn

people are making light of affairs with poems? does no one care of the hurt we have felt when it happens? where is everyones heart? it is a dispicable contest,,and the Lord believes so too,,cruel and insensitive

do you know or understand how insensitive and wrong this contest is? for anyone who has been cheated on? do you realize the pain that is inflicted by making light of hurting another with this?
