You Had Me At
Missed Connections In Boston, MA
You Had Me At
At whiskey’s on Boyleston – I’d say not a typical setting
for a situation such as this (if i were a man betting)
To begin let’s admit, we all agree that it’s lame
never sought or thought i’d fall for the girl tending tables post-sox game
As everyone knows, waitresses get hit on all the time
only hope for this bloke is to do so in rhyme
Right away I could tell that you must be athletic
my guess is gymnastics if i’m to be hypothetic
Somehow you didn’t quite fit in the typical bar-maid disguise
something different shown through with your easy smile and sparkling eyes
I know in the end you’re probably just good at your job
and trick the heart of each patron in the Friday night mob,
On the off chance you see this, we’ll meet, just us two
for a much better martini at the top of the pru.

Her Two Cents on You Had Me At
Ah yes… the lovelorn Bean-town poets are known for three things: love of their sports teams, love of alcohol, and love of the waitstaff at establishments with large screen televisions broadcasting sporting events serving intoxicating beverages. Was our poet just another customer or were they truly something special? That answer we may never know.
Gentle Readers: In the past, we’ve featured messages from folks working in the service industry explaining “being nice is just our job” and how customers shouldn’t take a smile as a sign of personal interest. However, I wonder how many patrons of various establishments are actually successful in having a date (and maybe even a relationship) with someone who served them a drink or a meal or range their groceries through… What do you think?
