Have you ever met a lady from Putney
Who lives in an exquisitely-furnished, Victorian mansion
With an Eden-like garden of cherry, apple and fig trees?
Have you ever been invited to her Oxford Road home
And feted to a totally scrumptious meal
Of pudding, Briyani, Masalla chicken and Cornish pastries?
Have you ever been asked to try her home-made liqueurs
And spend a few hours sipping bottles of her fantastic collection
Of Apricot Brandy, Crème de Cassis and Crème de Framboises?
Have you ever felt her sincere friendship
And come away from her pleasant company
Of warmth and new-found camaraderie?
Well, I have, and for the very first time
And I'd like to shout "Wow!"
She’s treated me so well.

My friend is one...who takes me for what I am

Dedicated in friendship to Rosita Pinto - a very warm, jovial person.
