For Betty
(c) 2004 Kienenberger

The winter winds will you miss?
The building noises that bang and hiss?

Requesting your computer during busy times?
Getting it back with noises that grind?

Those short dead lines that fill you head with haze?
What of those fun picknicks on sunny days?

Whatever the things you miss or forget,
we will always remember you, Betty;
That you can bet.
