My eyes Always found hers. Mischief, The dangling host. She was one Of my workplace peers. If it went any further I could be toast.
Those cinnamon eyes Of hers. Butterscotch candy Peers back at me, I feel so dandy Shoot me some brandy.
I see the loneliness In hers. Her cleavage Cuts to the chase. Happenstance now in place.
Our eyes did dance a duet. Her words are the coquette. Mine is a cadet. We grabbed a ruse. A pail and mop with a muse.
When we reached The men's restroom The coast was clear. The sun shining above, Holding a frown. Say hello to the clown.
We fast break the court, I dribble up and down. She passes back and forth, I shoot for the town. We score at the bell, That breaks the spell.
Our lunch break Rendezvous Was a first. And last. We filled our thirst With better scotch we toast.

A sentimental memory from my youth. We were both from nearby college working at a fast-food restaurant. What we had was a shot glass of dilution. A crutch. So the last three lines unravel the knot.
