Floozy Walks Into a Bar
Toting a handbag the size of a small suitcase
Because you never know
Floozy Walks Into a Bar
Dragging her reputation behind her
And everyone looks behind her too
Floozy Walks Into a Bar
To test the temperature of things
Floozy Walks Into Bar like Mt. Everest
Because it's there
Because she still can
Floozy Walks Into a Bar
And says fill me up, Jack
And all the men and a few women
Turn their heads
Lips murmuring their previous names
Because they still can
I like the idea of "previous names."
This conveys so much power and history in the simplist way.
Very well done. *
