Dinner is Cold

by David Garner

dinner is cold on a Friday night
I've got the phone on my lap
and my eye on the door
and, oh, don't you know it
I've been here before

stood up and fed up
at a quarter to ten
I've been here before
and I'm here once again

Distinct impression that one is tired of being mishandled and misled. Cold dinner indeed.

Makes me glad I'm currently off the market. Sorry for your loss, but very well expressed. :o)

The precise description (day, time, place), and understated, rhythmic, finger tapping feeling of this is excellent.
