Like asparagus in your pee,
the misty caw of memory,
plays tricks on you and me.
When quizzed, I hadn't a clue
which film a tune belonged to,
until Julia played the theme on our piano,
and I almost knew.
My wife wanted the ghost
town in Arizona, 
where an artist filled a schoolhouse,
with riffs on the Mona
Lisa.
Quick as an echo from a canyon,
answer came there some,
"Jerome."
