Premiere Contest WinnerBio Bits

Margarita, one multitasking mom,
Tequila on an island  is my calm,
My 3 girls  grew up fast against my will,
Gracing me so with grandma’s novel thrill.
My mighty motto - the glass is half full,
My funny bone remains the trumping tool.
If drear, depressing  downs descend to pry 
Poetic aspirations raise me high.
When infected with a new strain of stress,
I repel  it with an old game of chess.
Theater and music, bohemian buds of mine,
Beat, with applause, world’s best cuisine and wine.
My first language is Russian, Da! Da! Da!
My sweet homeland  - Toronto, Canada.
(Disclaimer: Putin breached dark deep hole, shameful and sore 
Plaguing humanity with yet another war).
A rolling stone, not dwelling on the past,
I tied the knot one more time, third but last.
Salut! That’s how my bio highlights go
Last not least - my last, last name - Lillico! !
