Alex in the waiting room bright yellow shirt
we were all there for a while when i asked how
he met his wife said You Won’t Believe The Story.
His friend’s father Jake was at Montefiore Hospital
and Alex called the hospital to see how Jake was doing.
Sufficient said the woman who answered the phone.
She was working in patient relations.
Sufficient is an insufficient answer Alex replied.
They talked for a while and Alex asked
how she’d feel about going out on a date with his friend.
What’s wrong with you? she wanted to know.
If you’ve got three hours I can tell you was his answer.
But he asked her to dinner.
They’ve been married 51 years.
Pure delight filled me as I read this, Esther. I’ll smile all day for sure.
You are the best storyteller I know!
