After the war
Chopin from white ivory
skills of the master player
on this deeply polished piano
and from the verandah
they all enter elegantly
women in hats
men in suits
stripes are the order
champagne quaffed
from flute glasses
and the laughter
goes up and down the hallways
as if the war had never been
skills of the master player
on this deeply polished piano
and from the verandah
they all enter elegantly
women in hats
men in suits
stripes are the order
champagne quaffed
from flute glasses
and the laughter
goes up and down the hallways
as if the war had never been

It's like they tried so hard to block it out.
Lovely writing as usual
