#bartending
Cocktails and chasers A bartenders dream He winks at known faces Like an old movie scene Feelings of freedom Like a new favourite toy Through crowds of embracers You stare at the boy Laughing too loudly Smiling too wide You can't help but wonder If he has something to hide Girls swarm around him Men stand more tall He oozes charisma They beg to know more Everyone knows him Yet nobody's sure He eases their tension Embraces amore Always controlling Consistently cool Working the the dancefloor He's nobody's fool Always the charmer Your eyes search for more But just as he has you He heads for the door

Everyone's met one of him
Stir and Mix Stir and Mix, Keep your head down Cuz’ hell you’re helping them drown. Shake and Pour Shake and Pour Not your fault if they fall Just wipe the counter s’more Wipe and Scrub Wipe and Scrub It’s no wonder you feel undeserving Of their love Turn and Lock Turn and Lock “Congrats Kid, you’re off the clock”

Closing Cocktail
And then the barkeep said... "One more drop and he'll change from blue to black..."
