Abscond
He thought he’d pull the classic
“Out the bathroom window” trick
But when he got into the men’s
It had no window nor vent
He decided next to check
The paper towel dispenser
In case it had a Michael’s gun
Or at least the midterm answers
Of course that was just silly
This was a date, not a movie
And this one was going quite bad
She’d actually said he was “groovy”
He got down on his hands and knees
And began to crawl though the restaurant
Only serving to draw more attention
Even as he tried to crawl nonchalant
He made it to the door at last
Having paid the bill, that’s a given
Looked around the lot to see where he parked
And remembered only then she had driven
