Murphy's Romance (apologies to James Garner)

My true love had lately been
  as ornery as an old wet hen
  I  thought her mood I could turn up
  if I took her out to sup

And if we took a movie in
  perhaps I'd even see a grin
  what diner to bestow our grace?
  we settled on our favorite place

The line was long and as we waited
  she got just slightly irritated
  but we got seated and forsooth!
  'Twas in our favorite end row booth

Waitress came, we ordered dinner
  ( I thought I might still be a winner)
  she seemed to calm a little bit
  perhaps it was my sparkling wit

We saw a couple and child enter
  like us, to eat a hearty dinner
  as luck would have it they soon sat
  behind us with unruly brat

He beat the back of our shared seat
  his voice as loud as ass's bleat
  and ran around the place untethered
  all kinds of uproar we soon weathered

Suprisingly,I kept my peace
  (still hoping romance skids to grease)
  soon we finished hurried eating
  and left (the brat should get a beating)

We picked a theater and had the fate
  of falling in a long line's wait
  the film which all the critics praised ?
  so dull our eyes were shortly glazed

And as a plot we kept on stalking
  the group behind us started talking !
  and when this "Oscar Winner"ended
  my drink I clumsily upended

Spilled not on me but on my  mate
   perhaps the low point of our date
  as we approached our far parked car
  I had a thought: : an all night bar !

Still hoping I might save the night
  went to a bar I thought alright
  where a huge drunk attempted tussle
  so out the door we had to hustle

Driving home 'bout had a wreck
  being cut off, what the heck!!!
  this uncaring,careless schlup
  notched our tension farther up

Well,through the door and off to bed
  all thoughts of romance lying dead
  intentions foiled by crowd and din
  "the best laid plans of mice and men "
