Lunch with My Daughter

 

If Cinderella had been an attorney

The Ellis County Courthouse would have been her castle

A little stone Babel of balconies and turrets

Swimming up to a Southwest Airlines jet

 

We sat at an outdoor table across the street

A small cafĂ©’ - Butter & Grace – The Mini

Which we renamed Beurre & Grace – Le Mini

And savoured a light lunch and the cool spring day

 

We savoured music, lunch, a busy street

And watched the peoples of Texas en paseo
