A Brief Encounter
While basking in the sun at Sarasota Bay
A couple approached Cathie and me
Nicest two people you'll ever want to meet
Welcomed us to the land of the free
They were from the town of Elmira, NY
A couple of miles south of the border
A small world when you really think about it
Us guys are one and two in that order
Sadly we didn't even catch their names
No matter, we were really impressed
Two of the warmest most charming individuals
As they welcomed their Canadian guests
We really wish we could meet them again
It proves I'm right on with my belief
There's a bunch of nice people wherever you go
But our encounter was far too brief
