Bam - Tam!

   
       
         
Tam was a healthy brunette        
wanted to be a doctor          
claimed psychology was her interest          
Would probably have been        
good      
          
considering          
         
I was pretty certain;          
she was born a fashion model          
Imagined her on the ramp          
lights flashing, as she carried        
white-nut-house-jackets        
like fur    
         
Probably was crazy enough        
to slap fur on her pelt        
proving a point        
Stupid enough        
to flush the last dime        
on a hand-bag, with label        
         
Wasn't a bad one, really        
could drink from the bottle        
and she had earned the right        
fair    
         
Put four men under the table          
within the hour, in a strip club        
one Monday night. Dragged herself        
off the side-walk        
after closing time. Made it to        
work before the register call       
Looked        
absolutely dumb-struck        
when she heard the men slept          
in the winter wind, that night.        
         
Blatantly gave it to them        
"There's worse places to awake       
with a swollen head        
blood-woven eyes        
and a bruised ego"        
         
I never heard, she finished        
studying. Fairly certain she doesn't          
practice, been looking for a          
half decent therapist for three        
years. I'd have found her       
         
         
Right now, it'd be really good        
to sleep on the side-walk        
in the winter wind        
Have truth spilled        
on the morning hangover
