If Maria were asked to peruse
a pallet of infinite hues
and pick one to wear
to her wedding affair
Lilac, I'm certain she'd choose


A fellow named Pete used to say
Tallahassee was where he would stay
Then Essilor said
they'd "double his bread"
and now he lives near Tampa Bay


If Optiboard no longer was
and Steve didn't do what he does
the sound you would hear
from both far and from near
is his head 'gainst the wall as it "thuds"
