To the handsome chap in the audience at a show that when asked ‘what

do you care about?’ replied ‘sausages’. The crowd laughed but I love sausages too! I hope we

meat again.

I saw you at George Square Gardens. You bought a pizza and you were carrying it

while trying to balance

two beers. You

dropped the pizza and I laughed. Sorry about your pizza, maybe I can take you out for

another one?

I saw you yering on the High Street, dressed as a sexy lion. Your claws were out but I still think I’m feline a

connection.

I saw you wearing a red top hat on the Royal Mile. You had a little dog and a silver car. I’d pay Monopoly money to

see you again.

I saw you navigating the crowds in the Old Town. Blonde, 5”8, you were in sports gear, and looked like you had a squash racket. I’d like to court you.

I saw you, a vision in camoufl age on your vintage racer navigating

the crowds on the Royal Mile, I was the

girl multi-tasking

handing out yers and

eating a burrito.

I saw you, drunkenly

scranning the dumplings at the Assembly George Square Gardens. Some looked on

in disgust, but I admired your effi ciency.

I saw you talking extremely loudly

during a performance at Assembly Roxy. You were told to shush three times, and still carried on. Can I buy you some

manners?
