Blind Date

Blind Date

 
So, I walk into the pub, I’m walking in blind
don’t know who I’m meeting
no idea, who I’ll find?
 
I’m not really even excited
Just wanted to be wined and dined
 
I walk over to the bar
I order a large G and T
I drink it in a second
a tap upon my shoulder
I turn around to see
 
the extra-terrestrial home coming
by gosh it’s the one and only E.T
 
now I’m no oil painting
but by-golly even Mona Lisa would have fallen off the wall
 
his head was shaped real funny
just like a rugby ball
 
as I stood staring, pretending I’m not me
playing with my thumbs
I hear the knocking of his knees
 
wishing that my gin and tonic
was a triple, and then filled with another three
 
trying hard not to look at this poor fellow
that looks just like, E.T
 
he wanted to have a conversation
but I wasn’t in the mood
I told him very politely
don’t worry sir...
your date, will be here soon?
 
so there he was having a moan
and me?
well I listened to him groan
now I know just why it’s better better, being alone?

so, my last words to him were
 
 “here you go my darling”
 
you can borrow me phone.

Shirley, this made me laugh...I'm imagining ET as a drunk man trying to flirt 😆 
sounds like he definitely needed to phone home, or a taxi 
brilliantly done
