the smarter sex

when we
went out dancing, the fellows
and i,
clubbing before
the word
clubbing was in style.
it was more
like bar
hopping,  going from
one pub
to another,
hoping to catch a smile,
or a dance
with some damsel
in a dress.
we were rough around
the edges
and always
counting our money
so we were often rebuffed
by the smarter
sex. they'd be
laughing at our boyish
charms,
always leaving with a taller,
bloke,
more monied,
more sophisticated,
winking at us as they left,
holding the lucky boy's
arm.
