VACATION IN VALENCIA.A Poem by Terry CollettA MAN ON VACATION IN VALENCIA SENDS A POSTCARD TO HIS FRIEND.Hank takes the postcard To his room, sits on the Bed and scribbles a few Lines. Hi, Henry…I’ve met Some nice dames since we Stopped here for a few days … One pretty one (like the Dame on the front of the Postcard) kept nibbling my Ears and whispering all these Spanish words, but I didn’t Know what the heck she was Saying…she showed me later …the wine's good, plenty of it, Too much Morris says. Yeah, Would you believe that guy, Goes off into town the other Night with a dame on each arm And leaves me with some old Boiler who’s seen better days And probably knew Franco’s Father…Hank pauses, sips his Wine. It rained the other day Almost none stop and Morris Got himself drenched…Serves The arsehole right, taking two Dames to town and leaving me At the mercy of the old broad …But things are looking up, The old broad’s daughter has Her eyes on me, and man, has She got plenty to keep the eyes Busy and tonight we’re going to Paint the town red or blue or Green or bright pink for all I Care as long as it gets me into Her arms and…Got to go…she’s Knocking on the door…so long Henry…give my love to my wife, But don’t show her the postcard …Hank puts down the pen and Brushes his fingers through his Hair, gives the mirror a wide grin Before he lets the Spanish dame With all her breasts and beauty in. © 2010 Terry Collett |
