he didnt know what prompted it

maybe that last shot and a beer

nursing the beer buddyboy his elbows on the bar said over the suds in the glass pint

                                                                                          I’ve had her.

Who

he lead with his chin to a woman leaning over a long shuffleboard table readying to slide a metal puck

                                                                                                            Her.

Why donya be a prince an say no mor . .

. . You don’t want details?

I do not

Awfully salacious.

I do not

            Youve got some real nerve

    Nerve?  What?

You had her

I did.

Occur to you she might have had you that she might look over here an lead with her chin an tell her girlfriend whos playing with her

                                   See that fella over there at the bar with his buddy. I had him.

    Nothing to brag about.

Not so much, huh?

No.  No. 

              Not so much.

That’s a bummer. I’m sorry to hear that.

                                           But if it had been otherwise we might not be having drinks together while I kick your ass.

 

she was losing

she wasnt his type but she wasnt unattractive

when she laughedwhich she did often as they were played she didnt cover her mouth

that appealed to him

                        Jah man

Right this moment she might be tellin her girlfriend she had you

                                                                      Like you  No princess
