The Bartender

Mr. Bourbon and Coke laughs
At all of my jokes when he’s drinking
Mr. Martini stares and he
Never shares what he’s thinking
Miss Sexy Red Wine tells me at closing time
That she’ll phone me
Mr. Whiskey Shot Glass watches hookers
Walk past when he’s lonely
I’m a bartender
I pour the drinkers
Laugh with the sinners
And cry with the saints
And even if they don’t remember
I try to make their bar tender
Mr. Never Does Tip says
That none of his kids ever call home
Mrs. Chews On Her Lip tells someone
She’s at work on her cell phone
Mrs. Husband Just Died always
Breaks down and cries on the weekends
Just another long night in a
Bartender’s life with some good friends
And even if they don’t remember
I try to make their bar tender
