Blue Lady
Blue lady starred as Receptionist
at Grady's up our street.
She'd welcome you as a black or white
and her blue right hand would greet.
Her eyes were violet, as I recall,
and her hair was black, like silk.
Blue lady starred as Receptionist
at the hotel up our street.
I ventured on first day to ask her name.
"My name is Blue", she said.
"Have you a husband?" I asked right then,
and she nodded; gave happy grin.
Her teeth were blue! Oh Lordy Lord!
I had to scream in fright!
***
Blue was Receptionist
a long time back
and Grady's is long gone.
