“The world” She once said to me “Bows to you” I guess I had been alternately Reading And railing about my lot of late When she paused in her practicing To address me squarely Her violin held loosely Dangling by her side While in the other hand Her bow waggled in remonstration “You are new to me, But I know you” she said, While she re-cased the instrument With a loving caress Before lowering the lid “But I’m going to be cross with you If you keep interrupting” Said in a manner That belied her one score and one “And I know That you have done nothing That you’ve not been lauded for” With that She crossed the room to the stereo And dropped the needle On her beloved “Grappelli” And started losing her laundry As she walked down the hall Leaving a trail That even I could follow Rising, I thought That on this day, at least The world does indeed Pay homage to me |

And started losing her laundry As she walked down the hall Leaving a trail That even I could follow Oh my!! Me thinks there might be some "fiddling around" in this musical escapade. Well done wranx. Is there going to be more? Or no encore to-day? Hmmmmm? Chris by the way...I am putting this in my library! "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

“The world” She once said to me “Bows to you” the world bows to you is a great line. rest of the poem was pretty good, but this stood out. |

Wranx~ You manage to encase your thoughts, and string them ever so beautifully. This is quite lovely and endearing. |
