I Ask You, Erin Burnett...is it fair?
by Carl Santoro
You talk to me
with your luscious chestnut hair
draped so cleverly over both breasts.
You cross and uncross
your muscle-toned legs,
peeking out from your dress
under the glass table.
Your lovely face, your
lips moving in rapid fire,
sending me words I cannot hear.
Why?
Because you stare at me
through a monitor, looming large,
with your luscious chestnut hair
draped so cleverly over both breasts.
You cross and uncross

Why?
Because you stare at me
through a monitor, looming large,
above and behind
I came here to treat her to a
modest Ruby Tuesday dinner,
and speak about our love
for each other.
Is it fair that I am to be distracted
like this? In the privacy of a booth?
We lift our glasses in a toast,
a toast to "Us" and "To Now"
and as our glasses meet,
CNN zooms in for a close-up
and I'm staring at you, Erin, as I
fill my wife's lap with
my beautiful wife's head.
The sound is off.

cold Sam Adams.
I ask you, Ruby Tuesday's and CNN and Erin Burnett...
Is It Fair?

Stay out of Hooters. You can get into real trouble if you and your wife have lunch at that place! *
It is not fair.*
