Reasons for Living Even Longer. (Dedicated to Joanne.)
Seventy-Six Is Not Enough!

                                                  Old Hull, Quebec. October 20, 2006.


As long as there is ketchup in the world,
Toast and marmalade, and pretty girls,
Poems, paintings, wine and camembert,
Jogging by the river pumping air,
Friendship, English muffins, peaceful days,
Reading, writing, breakfast in cafes,
Dining at a restaurant with you:
God grant me one more decade! -- Maybe two?
