Asters white should grace your grave, Leticia!
Tufted petals snowing a winter birthday toast
Pretty stars to cover you where you sleep
Everlasting peace, you and your gal unite
Astral dreaming, the glitter turns to sepia
Chastened light agleam as moon’s mystic
Eternal glow that in dark brings the smile :)

1/20/23 - Carver 325 at DBW; first boat of the year and such a name.. esp since it was the week between our birthdays exactly 7 days apart and at the only work spot I took her to a few years ago and the client owned the enchanted Forest restaurant where we celebrated her last birthday together last year)

We all knew how spooked our cousin Leticia gets.
We knew when she saw the skull she would pitch fits.
Should we warn her? Asked my Aunt Little Bits.
No way! We kids yelled. That would be the pits!
The skull was sitting about sixteen feet away.
I was afraid Leticia might not see it today.
I motioned past her, in a playful way.
She didn’t even turn, so she never turned gray.
Let me try said our cousins the two we called the Mikes.
They cajoled and coaxed, but there was not even a yikes.
A spider crawled out of that skull and I let out a scream.
Undoubtedly the loudest one ever experienced on Halloween.
