Survive & Thrive
THE DUCHESS

Roberta A. McQueen


She's holding court again
at the senior citizen's club
dressed in the latest
fashion finery such as
rich embroidered blouses
she comes complete
with matching beret

She keeps her audience amused
telling stories of her life
yet her children never visit
seems no one really cares
her legs hurt
and she's so lonely
what's to become of her?

She puts on her makeup
and a big smile
she's not complaining, mind you
no, the Duchess has it all
doesn't she?
