Francine Roberts Poet Couplet

Welcome Dear Carolyn

Welcome , Dear Carolyn, we finally meet,

  Please come in , won't you have a seat.

Let's sit on the deck and we'll watch the deer.

  There's no need to whisper, they have no fear.

I'm so glad you're spending your vacation with me.

  We'll get to know each other over this pot of tea.

I am so looking forward to showing off my home town.

   Did you bring comfortable shoes for our running around?

Dear Carolyn, I know such good friends we'll be,

  So just tell me 'everything' while I pour the tea.





for the Michael's "First words over coffee"  contest
by Francine Roberts, about the wonderful Carolyn Devonshire, whom I would
absolutely love to meet
