60!

60!

by Lyn Marinello

Thirty some odd years ago
in a Steak and Ale parking lot
a very young girl in a denim dress
interviewed for a hostess's spot.

A very Italian manager

stumbled rapidly her way

they met and chatted quickly

and she got the job that day.

Who knew at that moment

those paths would grow so intertwined

that the God above and all His stars

were so perfectly aligned?

A New York gal in Atlanta

met a Miami city gent

who'dathunk right then and there

their meeting was divinely meant?

Making out in the 20's room

beer taps running all night

number 12 in PCB

the laughter at Hallowscream's fright.

Proposal at Scalini's

wed in sweet little Rosendale

honeymooned in St. Thomas

together just never gets stale.

Moving all over creation

babies to add to the fun

a beautiful calm - Deanna

a Miles, the merciful son.

Happy Happy 60th

here's to sixty more

wished the young girl from NY

to the gent from Florida's shore.
