The message of which you apprise me
Thrills, but it does not surprise me.
A little thing like Death can't cage
A woman of such verve and rage
As Penny - she was fierce and brave,
Not to be silenced by the grave.

My Penny, I do miss her so.
If she calls again, please let her know
That as a wife she wasn't bad,
Though tiresome, lesbian and mad,
And I may well re-marry yet
(An Estonian from the Internet).
For even aggravating wives
Bring so much to our messy lives.

Yours,

Stan Montgomery
