Found in a book

 This inscription was found in a second hand book I picked up recently.  You can't help but wonder what it was doing in a second hand shop and what happened to the couple and the circumstances it was given.


"I do not know the reasons

I only sing the tunes
The sadness of the seasons
The madness of the moons

dearest H
Eat coconuts and custard for
morning, dinner and tea, kiss
all the little black boys and 
one or two for me.  Be jolly
and smilie happy and I love
you lots, forever and a day.
always and always
Sammy xxx"
