Cowtown Pride

Cowtown Pride So you spent Christmas in old Dubai, And took your picture at the Taj Mahal, You can’t begin to one-up me, For I have been to Bass Hall. I’ve heard your tales of lovely Paree, How you bought gold at the markets of Toledo; You have nothing on me, my dear, For I have been to Bass Hall. Heard you danced in London Town, Boated in Norway’s fiords and falls, Ah, ah, you’re not ahead of me, For I have been to Bass Hall. You’ve traveled the world far and wide, While I stayed at life’s beck and call, But all of that means not a fig to me, For I have been in Bass Hall.

Well done. Hope they gave you a cup of tea at Bass Hall. I went to Eddie's bar and Cafe with my daughter local -they gave me a liqueur coffee with two marsh mellows and a chocolate fish on the side which was quite heavenly. Hope I get to go there on Fathers day this Sunday. A cheeky little poem that will age well. Regards from the funny Kiwi.

I assume Bass Hal is your hometown...Sometimes the beauty close by is all we need...lovely

Bass Hall is a gorgeous performance hall in Fort Worth. I saw "Chicago" there and "The Odd Couple," but sadly, Fort Worth isn't my home town. Thank you sweetly for taking the time to comment.
