Innuendo

Innuendo .

 

When you want booze

and dance

you get pinches

and leers

left quizzing why

its never

from the one

you want

as requesting 

that must heard

song.

 

When a simple

drink order

you want 

to place

is interrupted

by slurring

voices saying

" hey gorgeous" 

while swaying 

to and fro 

and nearly smashing

into that

pretty face.

 

Innocent victims

who

should think 

more of the

clothes they

selected and 

how they wore

them.

 

Then a victim 

no more.

 

Maidens seek

the rhythm

loud free

uninterrupted dances

and sweet tasting

sugar like liquors.

 

Lad's search out

pretty young chick's

shaking their things

flirting and flaunting.

He unnerves

with his kooky moves

awkwardly in her space.

Ever so lucky

to score a 

phone number 

and the maybe

empty promise she

will answer.
