“I called you here for a reason Joan,
check behind the corner and
there was Da. They danced
and danced all night and then
he said “check behind the other
corner and there was Danny.
they rejoiced. Ma said, I’ll
stay here because this is where
my true love is, they understand
and will find true comfort in this."
