Casse Croute

i went for a walk last night
she couldn't come, but she was there
we passed by this little diner
a sight for sore eyes,
but the burgers...
the burgers were sublime.

two cheeseburgers, no cornichons
a diet coke please.
we sat staring at the guy behind the bar
he had des rideaux pour cheveux
maybe not so cute,
hmmmm... check out the little jukebox.

you think i can nip one for my room?

two burgers later,
a batch of pancakes and some syrup,
we were pigs, but happy pigs,
with big smiles, grins stained with ketchup

that was the night,
like every other night,
and yet, yet,
it was a beautiful night,
every night...

after all we were together,
the food was great,
what more could we want?
