What Was His Name

He was tall and cavalier Wined me under a chandelier How he was debonair With his soft curls of hair Gallant and handsome Dance moves for a twosome He swept me right off my feet With a sultry accent straight from Crete How could I ever forget that starlit sundown And that bartender from the other side of town AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on September 12, 2019 for contest I’LL NEVER FORGET WHAT’S HIS/HER NAME sponsored by JOHN LAWLESS
