I Never Talk To Strangers Anyways

I never talk to strangers anyways. Stop me if you've heard this one. I feel as though we've met before. Perhaps I am mistaken but it's just that I remind you of someone you used to care about But that was long ago. Do you think I'd fall for that? I wasn't born yesterday! Besides I never talk to strangers anyways. I ain't a bad guy when you get to know me, I just thought, "there ain't no harm", and you look like someone who likes a good time. Hey! Try minding your own business Bud. Who asked you to annoy me with your sad repartee? Besides I never talk to strangers anyways. Your life's a dime store novel. This town is full of guys like you. And you're looking for someone to take the place of her, and you're bitter cause she left you. That's why you're drinking in this bar where only suckers fall in love with perfect strangers. It always takes one to know one. Maybe we're just wiser now. and been around the block so many times that we don't even notice that we all begin as strangers. Besides I never talk to strangers anyways.

Sass in a poem. I like, I like. "We all begin as strangers" is a prophetic line.
