Stalker Yaya
She thinks she completely invisible..
Truth be told, I've always known.
Always lurking in the background..
Live your own life and leave me alone..
Kindly mind your own business..
Every dog shall have its day.
Rivals we will always be..
Tanya do you want to play?

Yaya Loves You
A smile that lights the world
With joyful eyes
Tiny fingers pulling on my hand
And a happy "Lets go!"

And fills mine with her love
My Boo, my Boo
Aunt Yaya loves you
