To the handsome chap in the audience at a show that when asked ‘what
do you care about?’ replied ‘sausages’. The crowd laughed but I love sausages too! I hope we
meat again.
I saw you at George Square Gardens. You bought a pizza and you were carrying it
while trying to balance
two beers. You
dropped the pizza and I laughed. Sorry about your pizza, maybe I can take you out for
another one?
I saw you fl yering on the High Street, dressed as a sexy lion. Your claws were out but I still think I’m feline a
connection.
I saw you wearing a red top hat on the Royal Mile. You had a little dog and a silver car. I’d pay Monopoly money to
see you again.
I saw you navigating the crowds in the Old Town. Blonde, 5”8, you were in sports gear, and looked like you had a squash racket. I’d like to court you.
I saw you, a vision in camoufl age on your vintage racer navigating
the crowds on the Royal Mile, I was the
girl multi-tasking
handing out fl yers and
eating a burrito.
I saw you, drunkenly
scranning the dumplings at the Assembly George Square Gardens. Some looked on
in disgust, but I admired your effi ciency.
I saw you talking extremely loudly
during a performance at Assembly Roxy. You were told to shush three times, and still carried on. Can I buy you some
manners?
