Dedicated to the memory of my loving

Mom and Dad

And my beautiful sister Carolyn

Also to my Nieces and Nephews

Thanks to Carol Billings

The Dog Park Duchess

She encouraged me to write these rhymes

And to the Class of 1957 for bearing with me

And letting me read these poems

At their monthly luncheons

Dateline: The call that will never come 6/21/2013

Curse of The Dog Park Duchess

Upper West Side oracle

She’s considered uptown

At one hundred and fourth street

That’s NYC town

With her dogs at her side

She sits on the park bench

At the Dog Park she’s considered

A much younger wench

Mystical and magical

A fountain of knowledge

She’s even taught a course

At Columbia College

Her mind’s razor sharp

Her tongue lashes fast

She can cut you in half

With one verbal blast

With The Duchess at the helm

She says careers are made

But believes you shouldn’t start

If Mercury’s retrograde

With her snarking barking

She spit out this curse
