The Cooks of 1911 ~

The post card

was old

the picture faded

but the message

from one young man to another

made me smile

Hello Carl --

This is a little remembrance

of the cooks in 1911

that could burn water.

The U.S.A. is fine and

 how is Canada.

We have lovely weather.

Your friend

"If I but had a million hearts

I'd give them all to you

But yours alone I would prefer

Tho I'd search the whole world through."

of red hair and the

eyes-down shyness
