thank you people. i had edited it slightly, it was

10 o'clock, she told me,
the violet cafe,
(fall in love, long leg princess
talk in rhyme, polka-dot dress)

cocksure.

half past 10.
rendezvous with an omelet.

Whoa -- I just now saw this, GF... a massive congratulations to you! I don't imagine it comes as a shock to any of the regulars.

I'll leave my obviously wide-of-the-mark crit of the poem, as an encouragement to the others whom I subject to such blather.

Fantastic, brother. Well done!
