Redditch 1985
Late-night Saturday at a student dance
a party for the graduate class
hosted by Nikki, a lady to romance
the loveliest smiles and a lover of farce.
In all honesty, I was way more than drunk
(one bottle of vodka already consumed
and another one held in my hand to be sunk)
somewhat deficient at reading the room.
When suggested I dance with the sweetest of girls
I declined with a smile and rolled a new fag
for only one lady had my ardour unfurled
and that was the hostess with mostess of swag.
Alas! She was already taken - with boyfriend, no less!
and alone in my bed would I go to confess.
