Reservations Please

I'd like to make a reservation please,
A quiet table on Friday at eight.
There will be a total of four that night,
I'm so excited I just can't wait !

You see, some friends I've yet to meet,
Are coming here from distant places.
We're going to talk of many things,
It's going to be a thrill to see their faces.

Do you carry Silver Oak Cabernet,
And what specials might we expect?
They will enjoy the Napa Valley,
Over delicious food we will connect.

I know I do ramble on a bit...
But these are poets from the Soup.
So looking forward to this dinner,
It's going to be such a fun group!

Barbara Gorelick..my companions will be

Carolyn Devonshire
Larry Belt
Robert Hinshaw

Dear LNC, if Larry brings his mother-in-law, we'll have to put her at another table...hopefully at the far end of the room! I would like to meet all of you as well. I'm taking a slightly different spin with my entry and I'll post the limerick series tomorrow. Hope you don't mind if everyone learns the origins of LNC. LOL Love you, Carolyn

yeah that sounds great Barbara ....a grand meeting of the minds hearts and faces. .... Garcon ! Would you please deliver a bottle of Cabernet to those people laughing and enjoying themselves at that table.. ? Yes, just tell them it's from an admirer. .. Nicely flowing and a heart tugger, Barbara.

Great work Barbara. Carolyn is going to be well fed. She's one of my group too. Thanks for your comments on Buster. The story is true, I'm going to have to ask my sister what happened to Buster. I know she had him for years. Joyce
