frugality poem #1

many years ago my sister and husband

both musicians got visiting jobs for a

season in the honolulu symphony:

place perfect pay imperfect so strict

economy was in order they made a

game of it who could manage with

least the younger daughter won in the

t.p. division by managing with only

one square – just thought I’d tell you
