Ego Elevator

Stop by for a six-pack of beer ‘Hello!’ Smiles the pretty cashier ‘May I see your ID? (Are you KIDDING me? You just made my day AND my year!) ‘Store policy’ She says with a blush (Is she FLIRTING? Does she have a crush?) Intuition grows crisper When I hear a soft whisper ‘Anyway, are you in a big rush?’

I love this, Tim!!! You have got to be one of the most creative poets on here. Your humour and attention to detail get me everytime. I went to the liquor store the other day with a few friends - I didn't even buy anything and I was still carded! And in Canada the legal drinking age is 19. Sheesh.

The cashiers are always carding me when buying teens their beer... LOL, JK...Okay I will stop, anyways.... and hopefully she does dig you. Flirting is good for the soul...
