OLD FRIEND BEN

My old friend benjiman decided to come in town last minute

Surprise visit so of course I had to clear it with the misses

You know, he's in on business a quiet dinner and a Guinness.

Be home before you even have a chance to watch Cutthroat Kitchen.

Ben and I sat down at the table on opposites side

This'll be fine, we waited for drinks to arrive.

He had a glass of wine me a pint. both had signaled

For the check. Our server walked by sat it right in the middle.

 

 

THAT WAS THE MOMENT THAT CHANGED THE REST OF THE NIGHT

WE KNEW THAT INSTANT BOTH WERE READY FOR A FIGHT.

THAT WAS THE MOMENT THAT CHANGED MAYBE OUR WHOLE LIFE

THAT WAS THE MOMENT THAT WAS THE MOMENT

 

 

We glared each another sharing a condescending smirk

Niether one was kidding, I tried over bearing Ben It didn't work.

(He's a pretty big guy) we exchanged words

Very polite at first of course. It was quickly escalating

"MY treat, I'm paying" " I told you I'd buy you a beer"

"See I had wine just let me get it" "I didn't tell you

To order wine like a. Queer".... "wait a minute?

What the heck? Did you say?"
