I've drunk my chocolate with the queen
learned Mozart's Turkish rondo
and Abba's I Have a Dream
raised my silk top hat in a play
been to New York city
caught a yellow cab in Manhattan
bought a book about the pharaoh Akhenaten
staggered through Spanish Harlem
at an ungodly hour
put a red rose in a whisky glass
and got a drunken drooping flower
heard the Hebrew chorus from Verdi's Nabucco
went to Italy and climbed a bell tower at mezzo-giorno
played violin passionately with vibrato
stained my fingers with buttercups
and daisies, but never tobacco.
Wonderful to know of all the things others do and have done, I have done hardly any of that, but my dog and I have crossed at least half of our country in a 34 foot motorhome, that was quite fun and adventuresome...that you need to try someday...Ed & Rufuz
Ireland 1945. Florence Kite finds a letter and her whole world crumbles. Marcus Fanning was her real father. But twenty-five years ago, Marcus Fanning vanished off the face of the earth.
