Where Opportunity Abounds

WHERE OPPORTUNITY ABOUNDS She sat all alone in the dimly lit, smoky barroom Nursing a gin and tonic that the ice had melted in Her countenance was that of someone jilted With a look that showed disdain for men Two stools down there sat a stranger Whose face had the same look as hers It had a veritable blank stare look That takes place when jilting occurs Suddenly the bartender said rather loudly Last call for the lonely hearts club And at that moment their eyes met The dim glow from the dimly lit bulb Seemed brighter than ever before He approached her ever so slowly And offered to take her home Her thoughts were he is so lowly But the opportunity seemed quite harmless So she accepted his generous offer After all, they both were so lonely And such a chance may have much to proffer 1 November 2019 Last Call For The Lonely Hearts contest - collaboration sponsored by Line Gauthier
