A Lady With Several Passports-N

I met a woman from Charlotte, North Carolina After attending a literary conference in Uruguay She claimed that she had passports muchas Born to a British mother now live in Uruguay Married to man of State Department Americana. Changing the aircraft at Buenos Aries Airport She talking, I listening, standing in a queue. For the check-in I handed over my passport The inspector inquired of me, looking into Is she with you, sir? Where is her passport? I simply looked at him with casual attention Till day I don’t know which passport she used Now that we were at the boarding gate in a line As to why the inspector wanted hers she asked I replied her because I have Passport Indian. Wished to offer one more passport, couldn’t tune But if ever she, by chance, in Charlotte she meets As I have now settled down in her home town And our ships destined to have favorable winds, What I couldn’t say, have a mind to say it soon. ================================

I wouldn't want to hand over too many passports at an airport, Dr. Mehta. It might confuse the security people. I like your poem and hope you have a happy holiday. Best to you, Diane

this was quite an encounter you had Dr. Ram! That she had multiple passports was more than a trifle odd:) Thank you for your comment on my recent post, appreciated as always:)
