I'll wear my Tails, You your new gown, <br /> <br />Then my love we'll do the town. <br /> <br />Dinner at Luigi's, Maxim's or Chez Nous, <br /> <br />The choice my Dear I'll leave up to you. <br /> <br />We'll eat of the best with lots of champagne, <br /> <br />For who knows when we I can afford it again. <br /> <br />I won on the races, it was not a lot, <br /> <br />A man gave me a tip on a very long shot. <br /> <br />The horse came in by a very short head, <br /> <br />I won't tell you what the bookmaker said. <br /> <br />Wear all of your jewels, you have not got many, <br /> <br />But at least we'll look posh as I spend my last penny. <br /> <br />Pay no attention if the waiter looks cross, <br /> <br />For once in my life, I'll be the boss. <br /> <br />And when we have eaten and I've paid the bill, <br /> <br />We will watch the waiter place the money in the till. <br /> <br />And if I can afford it we will do it again soon, <br /> <br />Now we will have to walk home by the light of the moon.<br /><br />Bernard Shaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-evening-out/
