Hello Andrea Dietrich

Hello Andrea Dietrich, so we finally meet,
pull up a comfy chair and take a load off your feet.

Would you like a piece of this warm apple pie
and velvet black coffee to go with turkey on rye?

So glad you stopped in, though you cannot abide,
finish your free meal, I will walk you outside.

No need to thank me, have me over sometime,
if not for coffee, maybe for some catchy rhyme.

I enjoyed your company I hope you know,
you have a way with words, strokes like a Van Gogh.
