Squash Noodles
So tonight I spent some time
With an old friend
Someone who’s really gone full circle
Someone who knows how to win
When I met her
She was on the escalator
The down one - straight down
No intermediate stops
One stop – the basement
And it was hard to watch
Because as kind and caring as she was
Events were happening
That were mostly out of her control
But like a true winner
She took some rather old lemons
And made lemonade
And it turned out to be quite good
Because even when you find yourself down
There’s always another ride up
And I’m happy to say that today
She’s back on the top floor
And that’s where we picked up tonight
Good work and good fortune
And a happy disposition
That could be a lesson for all
We ordered some interesting food too
A salad with salmon
Excellent truffle fries
And squash noodles
Squash noodles
They are squash
But hardly noodles
With a little fig tossed in for -
For what I don’t really know
But squash noodles were her request
And she enjoyed them
And I tried them and they weren’t too bad
But I’ll stick with the fries -The truffle kind
And I’ll also stick with her plan
Never stop
Never give up
Never give in
And always smile
