Like Two Ships Passing in the Night

It was really dark in the bar that night.
There was a loud cover band.
They sucked.

I saw her from the corner of my eye.
She looked like a Princess.
She was doing 18 knots in heavy seas.

I was full of oil and she had a buffet on her Lido deck.
This was a doomed relationship from the start.

Author: Blind John Ellsworth

Blind John Ellsworth (1960- ), a (questionable) poet and sometimes Texas bluesman. He has recorded one spoken-word album (thankfully unreleased), since he is still trying to learn to play guitar. (Lack of musical skills is what makes him a poet and not a lyricist. Plus, he can’t write music.)
