Sitting on the couch with her feet in their usual spot on my lap
“Are those a pair of my new socks I just bought”
“Fool, I swiped these from you before the pandemic!”
And they look wonderful on her

Hello, Michael,
Wonderful! I see the Billy Collins influence here, especially that final line that ties in with the rest of the poem, but also has a life of its own. I do not have Musical Tables, yet - thanks for the encouragement to get it!
