three stiff belts past ten
on a damp Tuesday night.

I'm at the corner of Tinker and Taylor

The glowing neon reminds me
I'm here to see my tailor

open the door, and surge in.
Listen, Sam,
seems to me you've done a so -so job.
Now, I don't want to press
charges or file a suit,
but I'm sitting on pins
and needles.
