NOT ON THE LIST

NOT ON THE LIST I assumed the mantle of an entitled snob Pushing toward the bouncer in a tuxedo Some bruiser of a guy, but it’s just a job I suspect that he had an unsatisfied libido Patting down the girls for guns and stuff But I wonder, why does it affect me so After a few minutes I had seen enough I stepped forward with my clenched fist Hoping after all, that he wasn’t so tough He smiled that satisfied grin and hissed Sorry old fellah, you’re not on the list

that guy sounds like a scum bag. Glad you didn't take the punch even though his behavior warranted such. Nicely done, Howard. Have a splendid evening, Sara
