HANK'S #1 GIRL

HANK'S #1 GIRL

A Poem by Terry Collett
"

HANK AND HIS SPECIAL GIRL.

"

























There’s one girl who Hank
Likes especially:

She works in a small
Café selling top

Notch coffee such as
Large cappuccino,

Espresso, flat white,
Long black, along side

Chocolate cookies,
Blueberry muffins,

And what he likes most
About her, apart

From her fine figure,
Is her smile and it’s

Not a come to bed
Smile, or a false thank

You for buying a
Coffee smile, or a

You look a goon in
Your baseball cap smile,

But one of those I’ll
Pray for you when you’re

In Purgatory
Smiles, and that means a

Lot to Hank as he’s
Likely to end up

There, pretty much with
Most others who have

Not quite made the top
Grade in life, but have

Not sunk below the
Skunk level to sink

To Hell like Hitler
And Joe Stalin and

Others of that ilk,
And so when the girl

Smiles handing Hank his
Coffee, he feels that

Much closer to the
Light than he did or

Does in the long dark
Soul’s eternal night.
