Leanne

there was a lady named Leanne

who was as sharp as she could be

for in the shortest conversations

she could always banter me

no matter where I came from

or where I would like to go

she seemed to get there before me

and upstage me in the show

I tried and tried to make her smile

but she could bring me to my knees

except when I found those special words

that was “baie dankie”

<for Leanne’s very special smile>
