Tales of Id In Segovia and Madrid

A silly young man from Segovia
Was eager to collar a novia:*
	When asked for his preference,
	He gave points of reference,
Restricted from Minsk to Monrovia.
	
When asked, an old maid from Madrid
Answered testily, “Heaven forbid!”
	But then, once wined and dined,
	She felt less disinclined:
She said, “Maybe I will” – and she did!


* novia  =  girlfriend

Maureen !!!! On a whim, I returned to Poetry Soup last night after a two-year absence. Re-reading my old stuff, I was struck by the generosity of your comments. And today, look what happens - you did it again! Thank you very much! Michael
