With a "STARTLED" Jolt at my breakfast table !!   The Headlines SCREAMED out at Me,,,,,   "F A V O R S*  TO BE SHUTTERED "   This was a Bit-Much I thought.   "FAVORS"  was to be closed for good and no one  even had the Gall to call and tell Me !    "ME" the Very FIRST customer and the most steady since  the Major Grand Opening>>  ten years ago"TO THE DAY"  !    To the Day??  GOD,  that sure seems strange,   What are the odds of that happening,  I Pondered?   While Delaying Pondering,  I decided to read the OBITUARY regarding FAVORS.   Hmmmm, , Let's see,  You've  got to be kidding,  they are taking out the tables ,  My Favorite FIRST.   And my Goodness, even the Wine,  wonder if I got the last bottle of that 1953 Fracioussa ??   A taste of such Mellowness and lingering Kindness !   Kindness surely isn't what has caused the  DEMISE of
FAVORS" .   Demise of such a GRAND Place "Was-Not" left to chance,   someone has deliberately caused this Tragic End of Such Magnificance !    A TEAR IS ABOUT TO "WET" the page NOW ,butthe phone rings and my thoughts are brought to it.   It is a Mysterious call,  some strange Voice,  Telling  Me to *HURRY on down to "FAVORS"__"RIGHT-NOW" !!     Now??  "YES-NOW" !!So,  on to FAVORS,  to watch them take out the tables, and yes take out the wine of that favorite place of Mine!!   As I step out of my CRAFT and onto the MONOLINE,  the Hustling,  bustling of the crowds,   reminds me of the longing of that "FAVORITE PLACE OF MINE"
