It is normally midnight<\/p>\n
When everything shuts down<\/p>\n
If you’re in the club, this doesn’t happen til damn near two.<\/p>\n
But not tonight.<\/p>\n
That isn’t what happened at all.<\/p>\n
I got all gussied up,<\/p>\n
Over my face, I made an extreme fuss.<\/p>\n
I put on these heels- the kind that demand sex in the bedroom<\/p>\n
Whew. I’m telling you…<\/p>\n
I looked like I had been hand dipped in sin.<\/p>\n
And that’s when the police came in-<\/p>\n
Silly me, I thought them a part of the show-<\/p>\n
Imagined some Magic Mike type of action.<\/p>\n
But that isn’t how this story was to go.<\/p>\n
With very little discussion and thankfully no guns drawn-<\/p>\n
Though of them, they had plenty-<\/p>\n
They shut the place down and escorted everyone out.<\/p>\n
And that is why, tonight-<\/p>\n
The hour of which I must call it quits<\/p>\n
Came at ten-<\/p>\n
Where not a drop, not even one had entered my system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
