On Broadway
As Labor Day rolls around each year
It always seems like a good time for reflection
At least for a look at the summer just past
And this summer was in a word - smashing
And while the summer was filled
With friends and family
Labor Day weekend was spent with my dear friends
David and Jenine
Now a weekend with this couple
Is like being on Broadway
It’s a never-ending show
An improv in which you get to participate
Of course they are the stars
But there’s a supporting cast as well
Daughter Dana, Her husband Gabo
Whose weekend run was cut short by something called work
Dylan and Daisy
Special guest stars
And a few cameos from the cast of my own crew
The weekend could have been recorded as television mash up
Making the lunch -
Which could be a 10-part mini-series on the Food Network
Floor repair and molding -
With special guest star George on HGTV
And the Bachelor in Paradise on ABC
Which by the way - isn’t me
We drank and we laughed
Holding court on the deck
Watching the sun set
As Buddha Bar played on into darkness
There’s never a fight
There isn’t the time
But the banter is great
And show never stops
As the weekend wound down
I held a wrap party
For the cast and crew
And a cameo player too
We toasted new friends and old
With a taste of Silver Oak
Eye contact to all
For luck and for love
Now the curtain falls
On a weekend of fun
And a great summer to remember
With autumn just around the corner
But as they say on Broadway
The show must go on
And go on it will -
See you in the next act
