How about GloPoWriMo 2025?
names
what is the pub's name again?
the one in the east coast?
a live band of Filipinos
with a lovely lady singer.
remember, you always walk up
to that singer with a slip of paper,
your neat handwriting,
for a song request.
there are always wolf whistles
because your skirt is so short,
and your legs so long.
we drink our brandy,
the band plays your songs,
at times we sing along.
sometimes we leave early
to catch the last bus home,
other nights we don't,
we walk under the stars,
the street lights glare jealously,
the old rain trees sigh,
but now
after a lifetime,
i cannot remember that pub's name
but i remember your's clearly,
because
it is carved
in gilded letters
on a marble slab.
