There once was a Queen named Liz 2
Who in Africa a big party threw
My mom and dad went
(Lovely lady and gent!)
[can you finish this limerick for me?]
True story: my mom and dad went to a party in Ethiopia to meet Queen Elizabeth.
Q is for Queen
Salty like hot dogs (and tears). Sweet like marmalade (and life).
Hot Dogs and Marmalade 
Wow! A brush with royalty! Your mother looks lovely in her shimmering dress!!
I was too small to remember this, but my sister remembers watching my mother get ready for the event. Apparently she even had some shoes dyed to match the dress!
She looked lovely – fit to meet a Queen!!
For a night they rubbed elbows with blue.
Such a nice photo of your parents!
Yes, they did 🙂
there they mingled with no one they knew.
So true!
