Diamond Lil by Brett Koth for December 29, 2024

Eh? Speak up! Can’t hear ya!

So there!

What were we talking about?

I don’t remember forgetting as much when I was younger.

We met at 9; We met at 8.

I was on time; No, you were late.

Ah yes, I remember it well.

We dined with friends; We dined alone.

A tenor sang; A baritone.

Ah yes, I remember it well.

That dazzling April moon; There was none that night.

And the month was June; That’s right, that’s right.

It warms my heart to know that you, remember still the way you do.

Ah yes, I remember it well.

How often I’ve thought of that Friday…; Monday; …Night,

when we had our last rendezvous.

And somehow, I foolishly wondered if you might, by some chance, be thinking of it, too.

That carriage ride; You walked me home.

You lost a glove; I lost a comb.

Ah yes, I remember it well.

That brilliant sky; We had some rain.

Those Russian songs; From sunny Spain?

Ah yes, I remember it well.

You wore a gown of gold; I was all in blue.

Am I getting old? Oh no, not you!

How strong you were! How young and gay!

A prince of love in every way.

Ah yes, I remember it well…

Uhhh … I thought Harry used to sit on the left with Al on the right … ah, yes/no, I dismember (sic) it well …!

( how about you? … ChessPirate )

Who’s on first? LOL

My Dad always said the good old days were when we still had our loved ones with us. Now that he and Mom are with the Lord I understand.
