asked me for a gin and tonic
he sipped it, swore it tasted like heaven
and laughed as he licked his lips
he asked if i could dine with anyone
living or dead, would it be him
i said of course
and he said lets eat
he had a slight tail
it brushed my foot beneath the table
but he apologized, blushing
said that doesnt happen often
he wiped his mouth
held out his hand and asked for a dance
my fingertips burned a little
but i took hold of him anyway
he had two left feet and two right feet
they forked like his sharp little tongue
he crashed into the coffee table
and i galloped behind him
he liked to drink
and so did i
and soon we were singing
and i heard coyotes howling
wonderful.
