The Party Trick

Taught to me from a friend you see
Old band mates were she and me
With her hair a little longer
And frame a little smaller
It really was a kick
When she played like “Cousin It”
And everyone would laugh
With this trick of days gone past

Now I haven’t seen her in a while
But the memory made me smile
And as I thought of her today
I couldn’t help but play
Then took a picture for all to see…
That I am just as silly as she!!

- for Tracy…thanks for the laughs!
