PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I used to like playing with people’s minds a bit.  But I also liked to spread good vibes.  One thing I would do from time to time is buy someone a free drink at the bar.  I would advise the bartender who I wished to buy the drink for and then I would request that they not inform the person who bought the drink for them.

Then I learned that this was a critical mistake in many instances.  I would often like a young lady and wish to make her acquaintance but never understand why they never looked at me.  Finally a wise friend queried “How are they supposed to respond to you if they don’t know who bought them the drink?”

My response was one of slow epiphany:  “Oh shit, so that’s what I’ve been doing wrong all these years.” Here I am experimenting with the Jesus thing of anonymous giving and getting nowhere with the ladies.  This is great if you have an application in for sainthood but not if you want to get the girl’s attention.

I guess you have to learn from experience.  I’ll have to make sure I don’t make that mistake again.
