Here's to Looking at You, Kid

Here's to Looking at You, Kid

A Poem by VERONICA

You say you love the rain
You say you love the smell
Of whiskey on a man's breath
You say you love my legs

You say this is like "Casablanca"
Michael Curtiz will call, "Action"
You play Birdman
And I'll be Bogart

When you said you love the rain
This was just a ploy
You knew that I am rain
You just wanted me on you

When you said you love the smell
Of whiskey on a man's breath
That was irrelevant
You knew I'm no man

When you said you love my legs
As long and hairy as they are
I didn't want to hear it
They cramp and can't extend

Why did you say this is like "Casablanca"?
Was it because we had a chance
Redemption for your snides
Where were you when you had your chance?

2 AM New Years Day
I was abandoned at the train
So I deduce we just had Paris
And Casablanca's yet to come

You say you love the rain
You say you love the smell
Of whiskey on a man's breath
You say you love my legs

You say this is like "Casablanca"
But no one said "I love you"
I can hear the deception
Maybe you should stop saying things
