A Chance Meeting
We went on quite an adventure to Williamsburg, V-A,
Learned a lot of historical facts too along the way,
But one of the highlights of our trip was on an elevator,
Meeting a famous couple; I’ll tell you who, later,
A chanced meeting, only going from G to the first floor,
The introductions began with the opening of the door,
The man was 95 and using a cane to walk,
His wife was 93, and she began to talk,
“What is your name?” she cordially asked of my grandson,
When he said “Charlie”, the conversation had begun,
She replied, “his name is Charlie too”, pointing to the man,
His last name is “Brown”, believe it if you can,
“You are meeting the original Charlie Brown”, she boasted,
With a smile proudly on her face, our full attention she
hosted,
But she had another bit of information hidden up her sleeve,
Which was the figurative cherry on top, I truly believe,
She said, “My name is Pat”; Just like that,
“But you can call me Peppermint Patty”,
She announced: “We are Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty!”,
We knew she had probably shared that story before,
But we were honored and will remember it forevermore,
Chance meetings can be a big part of a trip,
Especially when they are characters from a notable comic
strip!
