where the shadows come to play by Andrea Joseph
Ode to Thursday Night
Missed Connections in Ithaca
It was Thursday night at the Bandwagon pub,
We went there for beer and good-tastin’ grub.
You were a handsome guy with flaming red hair,
That almost knocked me straight outta my chair!
We talked about majors, hometowns, art and my shoes
I’m pretty sure we talked about funk and the blues!
I told you that I like to draw monsters and tatoozz
but I didn’t get your number, because I had one too many brews š
Maybe you’ll get this, I hope that you do,
I had a great time talking to you!

Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:
I love it! This missed connections message from Ithaca is cute, catchy, and certainly memorable. People tend to associate Friday and Saturday nights as the prime time for meeting someone, but I think the Thursday crowd has some unique merits – as our poet clearly exhibits. Andrea Joseph‘s illustrations have been featured here previously, and this one perfectly captures a night out at the pub (minus inside smoking, of course!).
