You Weren'T What I Expected... Poem by david lessard

You turned around in bed and I went numb,
How could I be so foolish and so dumb?
You weren't the gal I thought you was,
My mind was blank...my head...all fuzz.

Too many margaritas, too many shots of booze,
I now was petrified, after my long-lived snooze.
The woman I thought was as cute as pie,
Now shocked my weathered, sober eye.

I looked about the room, to see if it was mine,
It didn't seem familiar and that was just fine;
It gave me cause to blurt and 'jump the gun, '
'Hey...it's been great, but now I've got to run.'

Be careful what you drink, in bars, my friend,
Those drinks can cause your mind to bend;
I was fooled by who was in the sack,
I left her without even turning back.

I let myself get good and drunk,
Put myself in a low-down funk;
And when the last call
came around,
I went straight home,
and laid this body down.
