Though many years now beyond her glorious prime <br />She will always be known as Koroit's Lady of Rhyme <br />So humble and gracious despite her renown <br />The literary toast of the old Moyne Shire Town, <br />So many times she has been voted as Koroit's Poet of the year <br />And she still recites in a voice that's melodious and clear <br />And despite her great age 'tis said she's eighty three <br />Few far younger poets of the Moyne Shire are as brilliant as she <br />For her talents and her humility the lady is known <br />And one might say of her she's in a class of her own <br />For one of her years she is lucid and bright <br />And it is such a joy for to hear her recite <br />Her beautiful poetry the one time has left gray <br />Koroit's greatest Poet and she still is today.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/koroit-s-lady-of-rhyme/
