A ditty in honor of three women

"Coffee in Da Lobby"

So there were these three babes in Dubai
Who caused a certain gentleman to sigh;
When he asked them out for coffee
They said to meet them in da lobby.
When he trekked to find them,
The doorman said, "Ahem,"
The babes had just dashed out with a cabby.

So the gentleman returned to the party
Where there was dancing down and dirty
With plenty of song and levity.
But there few women as winsome or pretty
As the babes who'd promised to have coffee
With him in da lobby
But instead drove off with a cabby.

So what went wrong?
Maybe he came on too strong?
Maybe he didn't know them long?
Maybe he should have sung'em a song
Before asking to have coffee
In da lobby.

And coffee was all it was meant to be
But just goes to show
that "Coffee in da lobby"
may be code for a sophisticated "No!"

So why didn't the Dubai babes jes' plain say so?
Not a problem for gentleman to take coffee solo.
It happens every dawn
And helps stiffle a yawn.
