The Date Palm, RIP (1989 -2014)

 Gone, but not forgotten
It's luxurious shade dapples the terracotta. The slightly annoying  inedible orange dates litter the terrace...there's the sound of a lone broom's gentle sweeping, disturbing  one's siesta
Wait there....who's the dude with the hair??

For Marcus, who bemoans the loss of the Spanish date palm, infested by insects
 and nibbled to within an inch of its life.....
