    For Jenny, a Toast on 33 Years

    By Lester | November 6, 2009

    champagne

    This—for those who told us we would fail,
    Who said we’d never last. How they must feel
    Today. Another year now stands in file
    Of witnesses against them. And we foal
    One more to prance our fields, a happy fool!
    This, to them who never held a leaf
    Together—but for money spent a life.
    This, to them who never tore a loaf
    To share. To those who sliced theirs thin, aloof.
