Sally of Fallow Orchards

There was once a lady named Sally.  She acted in many ways as a trust worthy friend. But that said, her day was spent in the orchards of her father and her brother.  Her brother did not tend to the trees' health and they soon all were with rot and disease.  Sally knew no better and thought that was how orchards were to bear.  They had fruit, but it was not quite that plentiful.  Sally was fun to hang out with and never did I see her complain about a tree in the orchard.  But that said, what was it that Sally and I had to speak about in life?  Never a trouble or a silence among us.   Sally came and went from my thoughts once in a while and I really never had any inclination to really keep touch after the years went on.  If sally was a friend I was not to receive any further mail or phone calls.  If she was not, she really did not step on my grave in life with too much resentment of hatred either.  But that's said, I miss Sally a little bit.  She laughed like a queen and that was always interesting.  She drove around in luxury means and she really spoke with the King's Command of the English Language. 
So Sally, perhaps one day you will realize that you never really left my mind and that once in a while, I revisit your mind in the place that I once found it so many years gone by.
What happened to that laugh of yours though?  Do you still like to dance in the vineyard as I once remembered you to enjoy?  I hope that you have not forgotten that others enjoyed that vineyard too.  But that said, we are still partiers from a generation once gone by in time.   So Sally, where have you been all these years.  I hope that perhaps before you run for Congress, you and I might be in touch perhaps.  But that said, I expect that your future is quite a fun one, whether it be in the Balcony of Success or the Daylight of the Vineyard you once enjoyed as a friend and co-conspirator of my evil days yore be gone.
Best wishes and if you ever buy another luxury ride, please tell me about it!  I would love to hear your success stories of the fame you ascribe with your leadership and trust.  Thanks.
