My New Friend (for Sunday) long

> My New Friend

>

> I have a new delightful friend,

> I'm almost in awe of her;

> When we first met I was impressed,

> By her bizarre behavior.

>

> That day I had a date with friends,

> We met to have some lunch;

> Mae had come along with them,

> All in all ... a pleasant bunch.

>

> When the menus were presented,

> We ordered salads, sandwiches, and soups;

> Except for Mae who circumvented,

> And said, " Ice-cream, please. Two scoops. "

>

> I was not sure my ears heard right,

> And the others were aghast;

> " Along with heated apple pie, "

> Mae smiled, completely unabashed.

>

> We tried to act quite nonchalant,

> As if people did this all the time;

> But when our orders were brought out,

> I did not enjoy mine.

>

> I could not take my eyes off Mae,

> As her pie ala-mode went down;

> The other ladies showed dismay,

> They ate their lunches, and they frowned.

>

> Well, the next time I went out to eat,

> I called and invited Mae;

> My lunch contained white tuna meat,

> She ordered a parfait.

>

> I smiled when her dish I viewed,

> She asked if she amused me;

> I answered, " Yes, you do,

> And you also do confuse me. "

>

> " How come you order rich desserts

> When I feel I must be sensible? "

> She laughed and said, with wanton mirth,

> " I am tasting all that's possible. "

>

> " I try to eat the food I need,

> And do the things I should;

> But life's so short, my friend, indeed,

> I hate missing out on something good. "

>

> " This year I realized I was old, "

> She grinned, " I've not been this old before;

> So, before I die, I've got to try,

> Those things for years I have ignored.

>

> " I've not smelled all the flowers yet,

> And too many books I have not read;

> There's more fudge sundaes to woof down,

> And kites to be flown overhead. "

>

> " There's many malls I have not shopped,

> I've not laughed at all the jokes;

> I've missed a lot of Broadway Hits,

> And potato chips and cokes. "

>

> " I want to wade again in water,

> And feel ocean spray upon my face;

> Sit in a country church once more,

> And thank God for His infinite grace. "

>

> " I want peanut butter every day,

> Spread on my morning toast;

> I want un-timed long-distance calls,

> To the folks I love the most. "

>

> " I've not cried at all the movies yet,

> Nor walked in the morning rain;

> I need to feel wind in my hair,

> I want to fall in love again. "

>

> " So, if I choose to have dessert,

> Instead of having dinner;

> If I should die before nightfall,

> You'd have to say I died a winner. "

>

> " That I missed out on nothing,

> That I had my heart's desire;

> That I had that final chocolate mousse,

> Before my life expired. "

>

> With that, I called the waitress over,

> " I've changed my mind, it seems; "

> I said, " I want what she is having,

> Only add lots more whipped-cream! "
