Speed Lesson

Speed Lesson

A Poem by Donald Meikle
"

Just memories of beating rush hour traffic (and winning)

"
When I walk into a barroom and every one looks up
I get the weirdest feeling I�m not there
When I walk into a barroom and they all look away
I feel I�ve never been in their affair
Now reading a barroom aint like reading in a book
There�s a lot of things that need a second look
There�re some I never stayed in
An some I wished I left
And that fella with the pool cue�s
Way too tall
Now I can run a table
Sometimes even four
But here I think I�ll settle for the door
Easy money needs an open floor
An that shark has lost a bite to me before
