THE POETIC SOUL a birthday poem
THE POETIC SOUL
The poetic soul of Tom is with Penny
In Kelso.
The poetic soul of Tom is with Penny
In Dirleton.
It is a statistician's soul.
It is a chess-playing soul.
It is a Quaker soul.
Above all, Tom is a hospitable soul.
I have witnessed his hospitality
Almost ever week in Pearce's
And every so often here in La Vittoria
Where we witness his hospitality today
On the occasion of Tom's 70th birthday
Where we experience his poetic soul
Of Quaker hospitality.
God bless Tom.
Always.
