The poetic city: “The charm of Miss Helen  1/19/14”

The charm of Miss Helen    1-19-14

Arriving for my visit 

In my Christmas sweater 

And my weekend hat, 

Tilted at the right angle 

For panache and purpose,

I hope to impress.

Helen looks up 

Breaks into a smile 

And exclaims, 

“You look like a million bucks!”

Helen may have forgotten her dollars and cents 

But not her P’s and Q’s.

She still remembers how to charm a man 

And leave him feeling like a million bucks.
