Steak, Beer and Letterman

by Mystyblu - Taurus

Bad, bad day at work
you think I was asking them
to teach our nation's children to read
all I wanted was a report done quickly
but, no, they had to be braindead
doesn't help that I'm the sole
child of the North in a sea of Texans
hurry up fools, need to go buy food

Hate grocery shopping this late
way too many people in my way
move your cart out of the aisle
or will run you over
great mood, I know

What the hell?
ran into the guy in line with my cart
please, no line rage, I can't take it
Oh my God, it's the cowboy
from the pool hall
and he recognizes me

"Hey Girl, watch your cart"
"Sorry, just a little stressed"
"Just be careful"
damn, he is cranky today
sneak a peek into his cart
beer and steak
that's it
what is it with men

"Is that all you're eating, beer and steak"
"Yeah"
"No salad, no rolls, no veggies"
"Beer and steak, is there a problem"
(Cowboy is starting to get mad)
"Well it's not balanced"
"I'm tired, going to grill the steak, drink the beer and watch Letterman"
I want to join you my cowboy,
but terrified to ask
oh what the hell, I've had a good life
"All by yourself" hopefully that
came out coy, can't be sure
Cowboy looks at me 
long and hard
eyes turn into bedroom eyes 
that smile
with those pearly white teeth 
(courtesy of bleaching)
grows wider

"You want to join me"
High-five, yes, yes, yes
he asked me 
romance, candlelight dinner
find out if he is any good
"I would love too" what a cool response
"Then follow me home"

I am on cloud nine
got lost a couple of times following
he drives like a maniac
his apartment is clean,
I mean really clean
gotta ask
"Why is your apartment so clean"
he turns and looks with one eyebrow
raised (such a turn-on)
"Maid service"
okay, I'm now blushing

He starts the steaks
goes to take a shower
I use all my willpower to
restrain myself from
peering into the bathroom

Long story short (too late)
steaks are done, made a salad
we eat in the bedroom, on the bed
oh yes, the bed where passions 
will ignite 
all dreams will come true,
he turns on Letterman

He watches Letterman
laughs 
eats
watches
what is going on?
a thought dares enter my mind
he was serious
he is eating steak, drinking beer and watching Letterman
very dissapointed!

"You okay, girl"
"Oh yeah having the time of my life"
that look is back in his eyes
returns to watching Letterman
show's over
don't want to leave, 
even though all I have done is
stare at his muscles
it's better than anything Letterman
could have done

He turns to me 
takes my plate
puts it on the table
reaches for me
kisses me
whoa, this is sudden,
not going to complain
enjoying waves of passion
coursing through my body
he knew what he was doing all along
leave it to a Texan to know how to
bring a woman to the brink
kisses me again
utters those magical words

"It's time to reunite the North and South"
