NAME:
There was a high wall between our houses.
Hard to send a message to her.
There was no email.
The father was a jaguar.
We tied the note to a stone held by a string
And he painted the stone in her backyard.
If the girlfriend answered for the same stone
It was a glory!
But sometimes the ticket got caught in the branches of the guava tree
And then it was agony.
In the jaguar's time it was like that.
