The T. Collection – A Retrospective

REFLECTIONS – November 1971

An old ticket stub

Barnum and Bailey

Clowns, high wire acts

Acrobats, bears, lions

And elephants

Everyone should see

The circus at least

Once in their lifetime

So you took me

A matchbook untouched

The Sybaris Lounge

Drinks at the Hancock

Chicago at sunset

Your loving eyes

View from the bathroom

Unforgettably

Undeniably

Gorgeous and plush

Then you took me down

To The Ninety-Fifth

Exquisite dinner

For dessert - crepe suzette

Great coffee and

View of the lake looking

Out at the stars

Nervous - you had a

Special surprise

You pulled out the box

A solid gold charm

Engraved with an ‘A’

For my twenty-first

Birthday – tangible

– proof of your

Unfaltering love

‘Signature shorthand’

When turned around
