Cliff nine, At the opera

People say, “I was so happy, I was on cloud nine.”

Meanwhile, I’m on cliff nine.

When I lived in New York city, I had season tickets for the opera.  To take girls.  It was expensive to get those tickets, but it was a great date.

I’d buy a couple glasses of champagne and we’d drink it on the balcony overlooking the fountains.

I sat way up on top where you could see the gold leaf peeling off of the ceiling.  It was what I could afford.

I asked my date, “Baby, have you ever been to the opera?”

She said, “Yes I have.  But I never sat so far away.”
