Things I Should Have Said To You
At The Bar Last Night
Missed Connections
in the City of San Francisco
We stared at each other for quite some time last night across that crowded bar.
You, wearing, well, clothes.
I caught your eye and you smiled at me.
I smiled back. You tossed your hair.
I was shy and looked away.
I should have come up to you and said hello.
Thrown out a cheesy pickup line.
Not that I thought they’d work on you, but that you might laugh at my cheesiness.
But I didn’t.
I’m shy.
So here’s a list of cheesy pickup lines:
- Hi, I’m Mr. Right. Someone said you were looking for me.
- I’m like chocolate pudding, I look like crap but I’m as sweet as can be.
- What has 142 teeth and holds back the incredible hulk? My zipper.
Which one is your favorite? (note from the ed. #1 If the target looks at you with a blank stare you know to cut bait and move on fast; #2 Yuck. References to fecal matter only works if you’re Beavis or Butthead and 13 years old; #3 Hahaha – Just be careful your target doesn’t try for an immediate assessment of the goods. Nobody likes false advertising!)
