. . . goodbye . . .

. . . black beauty . . .

. . . i'll miss you,

but i won't miss you tricking me

every time i turn onto our street

& thinking,

"oh, drew's home . . ."

. . . no he isn't . . . . . .enjoy your new life

with the son of a helicopter pilot . . .

{even though he wanted to know

if we were related to "the politician"}

"which one?" we asked.

"you know . . . the old county attorney,

rick romLey"

"no. no we aren't."

{what with us having

different last names & all!}
