The Fluffy Dilemma

I'm wearing charcoal wool tailored to the bone

The most serious man that this bar has ever known

I've got a jawline like a cliff and a soul made of lead

With a thousand noir stories swimming in my head

But the bartender's waiting his pen is in the air

While I'm staring at the menu with a look of pure despair

The best drink in the house the one I've gotta try

Is named after a kitten and I'm about to cry

I took a deep breath I tried to keep it low

But my reputation's about to undergo a blow

I looked him in the eye I tried to act tough

But the words in my mouth they were made of fluffy stuff

Oh it's the Fluffy Dilemma in a dimly lit room

Ordering a 'Sparkly Kitten' in the midnight gloom

The organ is grooving the bass is feeling bold

While I'm saying words that shouldn't be told

Yeah it's a classy kind of blush a dignified shame

Ordering a pink drink with a ridiculous name

I whispered the name I tried to be discrete

But he leaned in closer "What was that? Repeat?"

"One 'Berry-Pink-Marshmallow-Dream'" I said with a growl

While the saxophone gave a sympathetic howl

Now the people are turning the ladies are amused

Watching a legend look so confused

He's shaking the tin he's adding the glitter

While my ego is tasting something very very bitter

It arrived with a flower and a small paper bird

The most beautiful disaster that I've ever heard

I took a small sip and I hate to admit

It's the best damn drink I've ever had every bit

So I'll sit here in the shadows looking like a king

Sipping on my 'Marshmallow' and the joy that it brings

Next time I'll just point and never say a word
