Blanche Do You Still Remember
A nostalgic verse recalls a small brown puppy with a black face once called Bidlar Midlar by a girl heading to school. The puppy frolicked as the child clumsily spoke his name, then disappeared from life, leaving the girl grown with her own child to ponder if she still recalls the mispronounced greeting and the puppy’s joyful antics.
