In Old California 3

Hernandez's wife is Dona Rose Marie. This lady likes her feed of beans and beef. When young she was lithe and they agree performer never graced the stage as brief, for beans and beef brought lady rotund grief. Now Rose is hostess entertaining great, a husband's asset people hold belief. For dinner parties folks are seldom late. Their home is made of clay bricks laid four square. A middle court with tiled fount, water cold, has spoke paths leading toward arched cloisters fair. There's garden space with roses red and bold. The bushes came from Spain this we are told. On spokes bird patterns show a splendid sight. All feathers showing colors green and gold. Now seen the parrots' plumage gayly bright.
