To a Celtic-Cuban. Oh, you dear woman who struck me at my first moment's sight. Fire emanating from you, with hot coals flowing down your shoulders. You are what would be in a long time past-- A leader, on a gallant horse, leading troops of truth, As did the mounted Boudicca, fighting for the celtic cause Against the invading Romans. I know little of your total accomplishments, But you demonstrate the art of your place And interpret for us the wonders of your environment. Your Man, your wee one, and your physique Tell me as a stranger, you are to be gently reckoned with. I shall enter your place and environs with Respectful trepidation and total honor for your traditions. My horse and I kneel as we enter before you. May we have mutual and continual understanding For our earthly accomplishments, To allow a beneficial environment for our offspring. Bless you dear lady and I remain in perpetuity Your servant in kind. Frank Maurer 6 April 2024 2200 Hours.
