She, He, They

I saw him in that pub today,
and she was with him, too,
and that other fella, hmm.
You often wonder, often ponder.

I stopped for a moment,
walking through the room,
going to the bar.
She gave me a look.

Was I being suspicious?
They certainly made me think.
Yes, you often ponder, often wonder.
He and she? He and he? She and he and he?

She could be Heather. Who knows? But it's interesting to see three people and try to ponder who belongs to whom, or whether all three are in a relationship. Thanks for your comment, Mr JM.

Yep. Gets a bit confusing, well said. I still like my liquor, straight with a little rocks just for the crackle. On to the bar. Blessings my friend.

Ah, yes. You sometimes see three people and wonder who is with whom. Even three women or three men. Hmm! Thanks for comment, Kim.
