I found the lyrics; too bad I can't remember the tune.  Leofwyna is no help; she doesn't remember it at all.



  Brazen Little Raisin

Way out in California, where the sunbeams shine,
A little grape was hanging on a big grape vine,
Said mama grape, "Be careful, don't get too much sun,
'cause grapes turn into raisins when they're too well done."

CHORUS:
Shame, shame, the brazen little raisin,
Shame, shame, he wasn't so smart,
Shame, shame, the brazen little raisin,
He's gonna be a part of a raisin tart.

"Now who's afraid of sunshine?", said the grape quite bold,
As out into the vineyard in the sun he rolled,
And after several hours when he felt his head,
He was shriveled up and wrinkled as his mama said.

A farmer came and tossed him in a great big crate,
A little lady raisin met the same sad fate,
The lady raisin whispered, "Are you man or grape?
There isn't any raisin why we can't escape!"

They found a place to exit and they rolled straight home,
And now they're in the vineyard, never more to roam.
That's why on every grapevine you will always see,
A couple of raisins hanging where two grapes should be.

Tuesday was lunch with my beau from 46 years ago. We met up at Perkins and had a nice long visit, just beginning to catch up on what we've been doing all these years.  This might develop into something over time, I'm just not sure in what direction it will develop.  In the past I've been bad about projecting and getting myself disappointed, all on my own, so perhaps I've finally learned my lesson.  Anyway, I have no problem about meeting up with him when he's in town again.
Tuesday I got a phonecall I'd never anticipated from the first person I dated way back in the day.  We had a nice conversation and he invited me to meet up with him for lunch sometime.  I told him I'd think about it and he'll call again before he comes to town later this month.  We had dated for several months when we were sixteen and were going steady.  We broke up when he went out with someone else and he never tried to make up with me after that.  Now he's saying he'd always regretted messing up with me.
