Two Cups for Saba (for Shmuel)
Written from 4 sentences about Saba
This is for my grandfather Shmuel, who we called Saba, who passed last spring. He loved crosswords in pen, the sea in winter and arguing about football with anyone who'd stand still. He always said 'it'll keep', about everything, and he made tea in two cups whether you wanted one or not. If I could say one more sentence to him: I still set two cups out, and I think I always will.
