It was semi-dark in her
kitchen and late at night,
When Panagiota fell to the
floor, with both legs in flight.
On her right hip, she landed
so terribly hard!
Alas, getting up, was not to
be!
She crawled like a lobster from
kitchen to living room.
Far from merrily!
I won't even mention the words
she said,
As it might turn your face,
crimson red.
To the phone she was headed,
an ambulance was needed.
Surgery was done, huge pins
were inserted.
In rehab, oy! How she loathed
each minute!
Her desire to leave was so
profoundly escalated.
She had to learn to walk all
over again.
Her mind set was, " I am
going to win this one."
Four stairs were like going to trek
to the top of Mount Kiliminjaro!
But she exhibited humor
and extreme bravado.
Her grandson, Prince Edward,
came to visit!
With these timely words...
" I told you to get an Alert Button!"
Ah, those warning words~
ignored, yet so divinely explicit!

Dark haired Anne of Green Gables
Freckles and playfully naughty giggle
Hailed from Prince Edward Island
Easygoing bon vivant friendly nature
Everyone couldn’t help but love you
Your nonchalant laissez-faire demeanour
Often made you look as cute as Pippi Longstocking
You were a friendship magnet
People couldn’t get enough of you
Everyone wanted a piece of your energy
Your exuberant joyful freedom
Hoping a bit of your magic would wear off on them
You never doubted about the true treasures of life
When you talked about the fields of daisies down home
Your eyes teared up with nostalgia
When you did move back for good
It was a cruel jolt to us
We were sad and lost a chip off our heart
But we always did see you
For what you truly were
A captive bird trapped in a cage
It was time to set you free

Take a stick of spearmint
cross the sea to Ireland.
Forty shades of green you'll meet.
Patrick drove out green snakes
green shamrocks line the street.
Take a stick of spearmint
exchange it for key lime.
Voila! new gums are cool.
Taste the watermelon;
green apple makes me drool.
Take a stick of spearmint
to Prince Edward Island
where even water's green.
Meet Anne of Green Gables,
hysterical colleen.
Take a stick of spearmint
off to the produce aisle.
Green beans will greet us there,
cucumber and Swiss chard,
papaya and the pear.
