I Think it Would Have Been Great

I think about what could have been but it wasn't, was it, Ben? We were the best, the real test.... a delusion, an illusion Maybe I need a transfusion? My dream you and your real you have come loose they are two different men It could have been terrific, buit it was obtuse. if they had been the same, we would have had a lot of play but they weren’t, were they? Not even one single day! We weren’t the same, no ding-a-ling We had that brief thing Not even a fling It was not the Bogie/Bacall love affair in the air But wouldn’t it have been great. my potential mate if it could have been? Right Ben? Right Ben?

I'm feeling this one, Caren. Just to let you know... Tom has posted a new saga in honor of the anniversary of Milt (Hank's) passing. I've also posted a blog and one of his poems. I'm thinking of you today because I know how close the two of you were. Hugs.

Lin, weirdly enough, I play about 4 hour of word games like scrabble every day - this week I have come up with Hank and Milt about 75 times! It amuses and delights me; I feel he is visiting me!
