i get up for my turn
at karaoke,
i choose
Moon River, sung
Andy Williams style.
the crowd boos,
someone throws an onion
ring at me,
which i catch and eat.
someone yells out,
Free Bird,
but i keep singing.
wider than a mile,
i'm crossing you in style,
my huckleberry friend,
etc.
i loved sweet Audrey
in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
a tear
rolls down my cheek,
as i finish up
i catch another onion
ring, this one has a dollop
of ketchup on it.
it's good.
it's all good.
the crowd applauds.
