Just an add-on because I think it goes well with the season.
I was mistaken, this beloved and very classy lady is not 84 , but 86. She shows up at another party the following night with the following poem she had scribbled on the back of an envelope.
And all through the hall
The Cannon Club gathered
Ready to have a ball!
Their quests were assembled
And with drink in their hand
Rehearsed some old carols,
It all seemed so grand.
Then the caravan gathered
Their lights glowing bright,
All took off singing
In the darkness of night.
But two ladies got stranded
And lost their way,
Their golf cart determined
To land in the bay.
Now the water was cold
For those two lassies
They found they were wet
Way up to their (pause)
Now some heroes were there
To give them a tug
They leaped back to shore
And gave them a hug.
The carolers drove on
And as they drove out of sight
I looked at my friend and said
it's been a (heck) of a night!
Merry Christmas,
