she's gone sailing off the cape

i call up
my broker at Morgan Stanley.
i haven't
talked to her in ages.
i know she likes
to go to Cape Cod this time
of year
and sail on her
boat, and i hate to bother
her while
she's eating lobster
and filet mignon,
but i want to ask her a question
about this RMD thing
that is coming up.
the line
is busy of course, but i leave
a message.
when she calls back, she says,
well hello dear,
long time no hear,
how are you,
the market has done marvelously
well this year,
don't you think?
you must come up to the cape
this time of year.
pack a bag and hop on a plane,
come on up 
so that we can talk.
Biff and Betty say hello,
by the way,
they're opening up another
bottle of
champagne.
