Pick up line

I met her at a place I dine along a lonesome road I tried to think of a pick-up line I went into clever mode. But they've taken all the pick-up lines I didn't want to offend a date Should I buy her, her choice of wines? I spent ten minutes in that debate. Then I asked her if her name was Google, because she was what I was searching for She said, "I heard that one, it makes me snore." I said, "how was heaven when you left it?" she said "they've tried that one too: Why don't you get lost and leave me to my brew." I could not give up, her beauty gave me a thrill I tried a different tack, showed a thousand-dollar bill I said, "how can I plan our wedding if I don't even have your number?" Her eyes flashed; she picked up a piece of lumber. the bartender saw me plead He came forward to intercede She said "he's hitting on me, but lumber can hit too: And as for this bar, I could sue." So I left her in the bar I felt so sad and old With the wrong line you can't get far I guess I had to fold So I married Mary Lou instead Though she watches reruns of "Daffy Duck." Better to take what you can get it's not always smart to push your luck.
