Days To Remember
Ode to Patti
Ode to Patti
You have guided young minds for twice score and two
As legions of students swear they once knew
A teacher so bold as to expect nothing less
Than hard work and joy at doing their best.
For the decades have passed as swift as a day
And nothing's worth more, Goethe would say,
Than this one today, to live … and then,
Wait a minute, I'm sixty … and ten.
Happy Seventieth Birthday, Patti!
