To our favourite pub in town, my friends and I, hurry. <br />For just over a fiver, we can order a drink and a curry. <br />From the bar, we grab our change and various drinks, <br />And there’s a loud chorus of ‘cheers! ’ as glasses clink. <br /> <br />At our table, we catch up on each others lives, <br />As a waitress brings each of us, forks and knives. <br />There’s a delicious aroma of food lingering in the air, <br />And my pangs of hunger, I almost can no longer bear. <br /> <br />We sit there chatting and laugh at each other’s jokes, <br />Whilst eyeing up some really dropp dead gorgeous blokes. <br />A waitress approaches, and puts our food on the table; <br />We’re starving and we all tuck in, as soon as we are able. <br /> <br />As we all get stuck in, our chatter is held, slightly, at bay, <br />Until the waitress returns, to clear our empty plates away. <br />I peruse the dessert menu and find myself unable to resist <br />Chocolate fudge cake, served with cream. Mmm! Pure bliss! <br /> <br />At the bar, I order my wickedly indulgent, calorie filled, treat, <br />And now feel happy and contented that my meal is complete. <br />I grab my purse as it’s my turn to buy another round of drinks. <br />Into the tall glasses, the ice cubes, dropp with a musical PLINK! <br /> <br />In high spirits, we decide to leave the warmth of the pub, <br />And head up town, to continue our night out, at a night club. <br />The DJ plays some fabulous Eighties retro dance tracks, <br />And the illuminated dance floor is almost constantly packed. <br /> <br />We’re soon on the dance floor, dancing the night away, <br />And, there, until the early hours of the morning, we stay. <br />By the time the club closes, we’re almost dead on our feet, <br />Having spent many a happy hour, dancing to the disco beat. <br /> <br />At the end of the night, we all head home to our beds. <br />We’re feeling happy, but very tired, it has to be said. <br />We tumble into our beds and very soon, we fall asleep, <br />And, from not a single one of us, is there another peep.<br /><br />Angela Wybrow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/girls-night-out/
