The Loner Connie Versace

Connie, honey.
Looks like my mother
Thirty years from now.

Dresses like my mother,
and handles furniture
like nobody's business.
Will never be a bother.

She is a member
Of the Diamond Club so
that means she has sold more
furniture than you'll ever know.

Loner. Stoner. 71 years of age.
Never one to swim in the misty
waters of rage. She's a goner
at 71 years of age.

But I love her so!

She has got the pizazz I lack.
She has got a nephew in the Mob.
Dangerous, funny fellow.
She likes Elvis Costello.

But I love her so!

She was lost one day. . .
In the sun-bathed lands of Sicily.
The angels found her strolling along
and carried her off easily.

My dear loner,
Connie Versace, 71. Diamond Club.
