She can talk to you through endless gossip
And serve you with anecdotes, joyful, crisp
Her apetite for the bizarre is never assuaged
All trivia in her memory is somewhere stored
She munches your words, allows you to flatter
But don't think she'd be taken in, she knows better
She splits her self into a memory and a dream
Where she was beloved, where she'll be a queen
In sounds and rhyme, she finds infinite pleasure
But its actually nostalgia that really rouses her
Delightful in conversation, pleasant in companionship
Theres always many a slip, between her cup and her lip
She talks in jingles, and in some wonderland saunters
And dresses, so elegantly, regalely she flaunts hers
She is, though enigmatic, a cause for full celebration
My friend, congratulations, for attaining her adulation!
