Quick
she said,
glancing around
the crowded restaurant,
I'll play that piano
over there,
and you hop up on it
and sing...

No... I told her,
I can't sing
and besides,
I would never look
as good
as Michelle Pfeiffer did
in "The Fabulous Baker Boys"...

That's OK
she replied,
blue eyes laughing,
I can't play anyway...
