Rose is a Rose

Rose is a Rose

By any other name smells as sweet
OK
Got it
Rose is a rose is a rose
And all that
My wife is Astrid Hiemer
Has been now some
Almost three decades
You would think
They would know by now
Why do I get emails
From old friends
Even
That say all best to
Ingrid
Who the heck is Ingrid
Doesn’t even sound
Like Astrid
My rose that
Smells so sweet
Is Astrid
Not friggin
Ingrid
