Thursday night

by @andrew-hartnett

We clanked our wine glasses together Suits for the occasion And I tried to remember the names Especially the ones who’s faces I recognize One man in particular looks older than I remember, with a haircut far too young Talking all about The deal of the last year Maybe a Christmas bonus this year So he can go home to his wife “Look honey we can buy another car” And maybe this time she won’t sleep With the neighbor I shake his hand hard because the poor old b*stard needs something And maybes its this extravagant event guys like me shaking his hand firm enough That he knows he’s important somewhere And we are all impressed by his hard work and loyalty
