Another Piece
I continue to be gratified and delighted by your response to my blogs. It encourages me greatly to continue even when the evil bird on my shoulder tells me to quit while I'm behind. This is a piece that struck me on a very fine day on the Port of St Jean. Read and enjoy.
The previous blogs will stay up for a while or until somebody tells me that they are sick of them.
Keep letting me know what you think as it helps to guide choices for this. Also if you like share the site with others.
Cheek
Roger Federer served us drinks
the Moscow younger version
or maybe not maroon polo shirt
sharp handsome athletic face
professional smile and practice
of the good hospitality staff
St Jean the place of big and small
boats the haunt of rich and not so
business offerings of high end food
pampering former Soviet wealth
maybe even illicit Italian riches
we are here without those credentials
We sat on the newly restored port
sipped rosé and prosecco gazed
on the assets of the boating fraternity
lounged like we owned everything
smoked small cigars were spoiled
as if Europe rich not Irish poor
