THE PRODIGAL COAT

THE PRODIGAL COAT

There once was a lady, who lived in Mullheim,
Who though very young (at heart) was losing her mind.
She went to a restaurant three hours from town
And while she was there, she put her coat down.

When she got up to leave, it was ever so hot,
And her coat……it remained. On the chair….She forgot!
When she arrived home….No coat could be found.
And her tears on the ground, were the only sound.

The restaurant name had faded with time
And she did not know how she would find
The brown leather coat, that once followed her home
It was gone, adios,.. somewhere, alone.

And then the white knight, awoke from his slumber
And flashed a receipt with a telephone number!
With a yip and a holler, “hope” raised it head
She telephoned quickly, and the voice said

It is found.. It is safe,.. I will send it to you
Just give me your address, and then in a few
Days it will come to your door, you will see.
And since I am so nice, I will send it for FREE.

She picked up the coat at the local post
And was happy to see, what had once been lost.
She handed a camera to someone in line
And asked for a picture…

They thought she was crazy but they took it anyway, and here is the forgetful Frau Stone.
