Rosie Schaap
She’s been a bartender and an English teacher
The manager of a homeless shelter and a preacher
She’s been the ghostwriter of a few all-nighters
And she’s a storyteller of the Wine Cellar
And a bard of the bar
With a comic pen
As evidenced in her memoir Drinking With Men
I met her in Brooklyn over bagels and soccer
Which was cozy
We talked not of prose or poesy
As the goals went in!
Say hi to Rosie
