First line

As you were contained in Or embodied by Louise Schlossman When she was a sophomore at Walnut Hills High School In Cincinnati, Ohio, I salute you And thank you For the fact That she received My kisses with tolerance On New Year's Eve And was not taken aback As she well might have been Had she not had you And had I not, too.
