A Reason To Stay In

A typical night out in England

Men glance across the room as they wait at the bar to order a drink

Women dance across the room as they wait for the men to stop and think

Men start to pick their target and the foes that they plan to eventually fight

Women start to pick at their hair as they get ready to invest for the rest of the night

Men have decided: they want the pretty, the cute, the drunk and the easy

Women have decided: they don’t want the petty, the poor, the ill hung or the sleazy

Men start to drink too much; they get aggressive and start a commotion

Women start to drink too much; they get suggestive, and put all the wheels into motion

Men get kicked out, so they’ll fuss and they’ll fight, they’ll leave with disgust and they’ll go for a bite.

Meanwhile, the women end up taking home the guy who said that fighting was petty.

Men wake up the next day with a banging headache and the smell of staleness.

Women wake up next to the sleazy guy with the small dick who was too poor to pay for a taxi last night.

This is why I don't go out at night anymore..wonderful drinking culture of the UK...extend the hours, we will drink sensibly like our cousins across the water..errr..no..we are not french, italian or spanish..we do not have a healthy relationship with drink..or the weather..so that was never going to work..ok, sorry..ranting..great poem! Got me going anyway :)
