I am in A Bar in Amsterdam,
a Big Boy on a Saturday Night,
defiant as ever, not giving a damn,
drunk as a Lord, spoiling for a fight.
It is for the benefit of local Birds
who dance around in little whirls
to the delight of teenaged nerds.
We all are into Cars and Girls
and I am The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll;
I know that Beauty is Only Skin Deep
but I am looking for a Beautiful Doll.
I am not accustomed to go to sleep
if my companion is an adorable dish
but when she happens to be a bore
or is unattractive and as cold as a fish
I am inclined to snooze and snore.
I told everyone that I had a girlfriend,
not that I searched for one in vain.
It’d be once more a Lost Weekend,
with little sunshine but a lot of Rain.

I loved your I P Luigi,

the poem came together well and told a story.

Hope you enjoyed writing as much as I did reading.

I did indeed, Jenny. What I find rewarding is that the IP gives us the chance not only to create but also to exchange ideas by commenting or critisising if it need be, although people seem to be too polite to offer negative feedbacks. Anyway, I am grateful for your appreciative remarks.

Luigi xx

You definitely didn't need 'A Little Help From your Friends' to write this

I think it deserves a 'Gold' 'Cherry,' smiley

Too kind Keith, and it is true I didn't need 'A Little Help From your Friends' but it didn't cross my mind to ask for it.  smiley
