Feeling nostalgic today after a fan raved about seeing this whimsical fable of mine...
MAN IN THE BOX
(to audience)
Happ’ly does my tale dance its final steps
But this: St. Teresa’s Teacup Tipsy
Grew to know all Lyla’s, Lacey’s, Latia’s
Fondest dreams, with the added luster of
Reginald’s new-found strength and ideals
Spoken out, shared with a world long grown dark,
Now new-lit with new-found inspiration.
St. Teresa’s Teacup Tipsy again
Vibrant center of life and love to a
Bustling and grateful neighborhood.
Dispenser of delightful teas and talk
St. Teresa's Teacup Tipsy, shattered
Once, found life anew, bright beacon b’came to
All who have lost, to dare to dream again.
