Classic Poem

Oh, what delight
To be given the right
To be carefree and gay once again.
No longer slinking,
Respectably drinking
Like civilized ladies and men.
No longer need we miss
A charming scene like this.
In some secluded rendezvous
That overlooks the avenue,
With someone sharing a delightful chat
Of this and that,
And cocktails for two.
As we enjoy a cigarette
To some exquisite chansonnette,
Two hands are sure to slyly meet beneath
A serviette
With cocktails for two.
My head may go reeling,
But my heart will be obedient,
With intoxicating kisses
For the principal ingredient.
Most any afternoon at five
We'll be so glad we're both alive.
Then maybe fortune will complete her plan
That all began
With cocktails for two.
