Tallahassee Lassie

Down Tallahassee
Down Florida way
The talents of a poet
Make this Highlanders day

The writes we read
The tales she shares
Incredible words
Just make me stare

The more I read
The more I enjoy
I'm like a new kid
With it's favourite toy

As her grammar builds
The pictures show
Her mind on paper
As her words purely flow

A start and finish
Is a must
A poets honour
As the readers trust

This poet has it in her every say
I smile when her names my way
The manner in which she enriches us
To my poems she comments
And makes me blush
Proud polite and never flashy
This most wonderful
Tallahassee Lassie
