…Of hotels filled with ghosts,
and dinners capped with toasts.
Of Spanish words,
and running birds,
and family from both coasts.
How lovely it was!
So thanks for the memory.
If I should live so long,
and someone writes a song,
I’ll stifle a few wisecracks
and politely hum along.
Thank you, so much!
