Outings

No, I don’t really

Want to come with you tonight

Why?

Because it’s going to be crowded

And I won’t know

A single person there

Except you

And I really don’t want

To talk to strangers

Plus I know absolutely nothing

About sports ball

(Which I’m sure

Is the theme of the night)

Plus I have to be up early in the morning

So I can be at work

All day

And I really don’t need

A hangover

For that

So really, please, have fun without me

I’ll enjoy my night in

As much as you enjoy

Your night out
