The Boardinghouse Madrigals
The Importance of Being Hortense
Every hide-and-seek game seems futility
Like Ivy, until something’s sighted!
Maybe you could keep track and make tea?
Oh wouldn’t you be so delighted!
Every wild chase makes you lose all your patience
Like that blue moon since you were invited.
Maybe you could renew an acquaintance?
Oh wouldn’t you be so delighted!
Every door closed opens one where that was,
Like two old friends reunited.
Maybe you’ll remember what no one else does?
Oh wouldn’t you be so delighted!
Every new scene’s for the better or worse
Like an old flame now reignited.
Maybe time to retire Ivy’s private nurse?
Oh wouldn’t you be so delighted!
