A Pocket Notebook Found in an Old Coat

1. Memos to myself in the long ago:

McKuen asks me for my autograph
Cohen offers me one of his coolest hats
Or maybe that famous blue raincoat
Pushkin’s spirit challenges me to a duel

Book-signing in Harrod’s on Saturday
An invitation from the Bishop of Rome
For the same day as the Queen’s garden party
I need to find full-dress for the Nobel

2. Memo to myself now:

Well, maybe next year in Jerusalem -
I always keep my passport up to date
