the dingbat trio

The "Dingbat Trio",
such a lovely group;
two vocalists, a pianist,
sometimes a traveling troupe.

People "dying" to hear them,
their music renown;
well, at least in our parish,
then a very small town.

The practices were special,
the laughter and tears;
the bonding and girl talk,
they were wonderful years!

Matching color ensembles,
we still can't explain;
like magic, still happen,
ss if sharing a brain.

The nickname was given,
by one loving man;
who when we would practice
would say, "No, not again!"

He'd laugh and he'd tease,
to the basement he'd head;
while the "Dingbat Trio"
would be spiritually fed.

Our families would gather,
to celebrate and play;
the memories couldn't be better,
yet to this day.

We love you, Mary,
you're a beautiful friend;
our love and God's blessings,
on this birthday, we send!

With love, Bonnie
