Wow..Sounds like he was really the light of the party. Your word play really gives a clear image of not just him, but his outlook on life. Though annoying; you can't help but give him the credit that he's living his life and doesn't quit..heh heh. Good luck and cheers.

Thanks Benjamin:)
Comment from Bill Schott
Thirty-five years ago in Wichita Falls, Tx, I and two other Marines (not familiar with the town) were bar hoping. Every bar was closed but one, The Parasol Lounge. We were sitting at a table and noticed a guy strutting like a rooster and making noises like one as well. It was then we noticed, looking for women, that there were only two. They were definitely into each other. Then we noted that the rest of the patrons were men. Our least tactful and drunkest buddy announced in a loud voice, "Holy shit! We're in a gay bar!" This is the same friend who went out of his way to offend soldiers in an Army bar by making fun of the Green Beret. We made a strategic exit without further comment and no altercations occurred.
In 1978 I was not the cultured and sophisticated person I am now. After twenty-some years in the Corps, working with men and women in every service all over the world, I retired a wiser man.

Back in 1978 it was sure a lot different. Hard to be gay - that is why I married a man back them but I am much happier now being me. I'm glad you are wiser these days. Funny story though:) thanks.
Comment from TamzinWhite
I feel sad for people that never get past this stage of existence.
Should I? Or are they having the time of their lives??
Maybe I'll know again some day too.
Interesting subject matter. Meant to be humorous, I think, but it made me feel awkward and agitated. Poor guy. I probably feel sorry for him... or maybe it's fear of being in same position one day.

Comment from Andrewajgblue
I think a cock would be the right expression, you paint a brilliant vivid picture of a typical Saturday night in a gay club, but it's very entertaining, great poem it really made me smile

I'm sure you have many gay bars/clubs where you are. We have to travel far to get to one but enjoy dancing. Yes, there is always at least one like him in the crowd. Thanks so much:)
Comment from Ekim777
I like your imagery and I like your sound. Lesser people exhort their muses to give them a song. More soulful souls will dance, not with talent but with that bodily movement. Call it Duende. Our poet catches it in the cadence. Even the old and infirm can form it, if they mean it. How can he do it, so long and all alone? -Ekim777

Comment from dragonpoet
Sounds like he though he was a catch because he was part of the band. The lead singer is supposed to be hot and he knows it. He probably ruined a lot of songs with the annoying whoop whoops. He deserves to be alone.
He was seen and was a scene.
Keep writing

Comment from CR Delport
When you observe people in a crowd you get all kinds. I like to go to the airport to do "people watching". This is very well written. Good job.
Take care.

Comment from Chris Tee
Yes you have made it loud and clear Whoop whooop. I had a smile on my dial for a while reading this interesting piece of poetry. Well done indeed with this excellent poem

Thanks Chris. Always appreciate your reviews;)
Comment from boxergirl
Haha! Whoop whoop sounds like he was pretty drunk! Which can be pretty annoying. Looking for a rooster or a hen was a funny line. Hope he didn't ruin your whole night.

I don't think he was drunk - at least not in the beginning, just cocky:) We had a great time anyway. thanks so much.
Comment from Joan E.
What an intriguing title! I think he was a "scene" and trying to be "hot"! I certainly did not need a picture to imagine him on the stage after all of your vivid descriptions. I'm just surprised you could endure him for three long hours! Smiles- Joan
