Life in Transit

    Marie’s Poem

    2010

    I know a special lady
    And you may know her too
    She’s just so vriendelik
    What’s a guy to do!

    I know a gentle lady
    She is a Kaapse nooi
    I would not tell a lie
    Sy’s so vreeslik mooi!

    I know a clever lady
    She has great taste in men
    You ask me how I know?
    I am one of them!

    I know a lekker lady
    She always makes me smile
    She tells such rude grappe
    With consummate style!

    I know a super lady
    She doesn’t mince her words
    She’ll say just what she thinks:
    ‘Jong! That’s for the birds!’

    I know a loving lady
    She cares from start to end
    What’s more, kan jy dit glo?
    Sy’s my beste friend
