Poem for a Barmaid
(Somewhat tongue in cheek but here we go . . .)
You’re not expecting the thunderbolt to hit
Then when it does it hits you like a brick
One minute innocent and unmoved
The next incensed with passion and feeling bemused
Lovely face and beautiful eyes
The curve of your body is no surprise
Your smile affects me so, I’m feeling weak
And like a fool I can hardly speak
On some spiritual wavelength I feel we’re actually connected
And that’s something so very unexpected
Still, I have to speak, there’s a moment here I have to seize;
‘Can I have a pint of lager love, please?’
