A wallet lost in Buffalo
was found in Montreal.
A couple in the Grande Hotel
espied it in the hall.
No money left inside it,
and no credit cards as well,
but photos there
that would be missed.
That was not hard to tell.
A small boy with a missing tooth;
a girl with bright red hair.
A woman who could be a wife;
a smiling elder pair.
They mailed it back to Buffalo,
an address found within.
"We’re sorry for your loss," they wrote.
"Take comfort in your kin."
