Yesterday Frank and I

Lunched at the Wyndham again

Frank wanted me to

See something before we ate

There was an exhibit

Of video equipment

In another room

The marketing lady

Used the term "piggyback"

And I couldn't help but think of

Recent events chronicled in

Pig Tales (What Elsas Knew)

Last time that we had

Lunch at the Wyndham

Frank had come up with

Samanthic distance

(See Sum Antha)

During lunch Frank brought up

How he was shocked that

Americans in general and

Jeopardy contestants in particular

Don't know what country

Mount Kilimanjaro is in

Walking to our cars

We passed a car with

A personalized license plate

And he mentioned a plate

That had stumped him --

ASLE DC

I suggested that

The first part is

Elsa backwards

Of course he didn't know

That I'd just been primed

To note Elsa's,

Since it had only been five days

Since I'd met Elsa Jensen

Last night I was reading

Another Tom Swift book,

G-Force Inverter

It turned out that the origin of

The electronic eavesdropping on

Tom's messages from the Moon

Had been near Kilimanjaro,

Though otherwise

Africa never comes up

I guess I'm still

Experiencing aftershocks

From last weekend's

Coincidence quake --

Today, pulling out of

The local shopping area

I saw a license plate

With a single 4-letter word:

ELSA
