At Porgy and Bess

The keeper and her dear friend W headed off to one of her favorite operas, Porgy and Bess last eve.  She actually knew some of the choristers and was deeply moved by the quality of the performance.  But even better, Charles,the usher who has been in charge of her section all these years, whom she has come to know and appreciate, handed out an envelope to all the regular subscriber patrons.  Inside was a poem which he had written, a poem of thanks and praise for the opera and all of the arts aficionados he has come to know over all of his years of service.  He isn't even retiring, he just wanted to do it. We thought it was very cool.
