My Cousin Elsa

October 10th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Elsa is a mother and grandma, and has quite a fulfilling life.
Likes the finer things in life, I’m quite sure, as anyone would.
She’s also a great wife,
Is married to an Argentinean, a tennis freak, but it’s rumored, that he is quite good.

Elsa does things to stay young, fit, and is really quite a catch,
Stays active with dancing all those “sombas”!
Has a Son in Dubais, a teacher, who is very close to finding his life-long match,
To a great Daughter and Grandkid, that keeps her running; aye caramba!

Elsa loves going to Broadway shows and doing things at the Met.
Of course, the Giants is the team she pursues,
And I, being from Dallas, still owe her money, losing a few bets,
Since you know which team have won the last few.

As first cousins, we do strive to stay close, and in touch.
Even though we live far apart, and pretty far away,
We both know that we share a special “Collazo” bond, and as such,
Like our Dads, who were Brothers, we are family; & this will last forever and a day!

Robert Collazo, 10/10/09.  Mi Prima – con mucho carino!
