The American Legion meets in the parish hall
Third Tuesday every month (missed you last time)
Old men in funny hats saluting the flag
And then again re-living AIT
Their perimeter shrinks as children rehearse
Their songs and dances for tomorrow night
In honor of Nuestra Senora –
With Juan Diego’s tilma she blesses the Americas
In a classroom across the way the AA
Are fighting their dragons as manfully
As good Saint George, and so in very truth
They are fighting dragons for all of us
This is Our Lady’s cocina, open to all:
Everybody meets in the parish hall
