By Lawrence “Mack in Texas” Hall, Cf. Shakespeare, Sonnet 37
Sitting for an hour at an outside café
Sipping coffee and writing verse and, yes
Discreetly noting elegant mademoiselles –
I never got to Paris, but my daughter did
Waiting for a steamer along the Rhine
Midsummer Night in Finland the Brave
A blessing from Saint John Paul in Saint Peter’s Square –
Not those either, but my daughter did
But now
Flying to that second star to the right –
We’ll all get there in our dreams tonight
