And speaking of gems from Australia, after being blessed with the surprise of a wonderful chat with our Palace Princess I was inspired to create this tribute to Mandy: The Girl From Down Under I've ne'er in my life beheld such a wonder
As the beautiful girl who comes from down under. Her twinkling eyes, her dazzling smile, This girl invades my dreams with style. The way she plays with her silken mane Could make most normal men insane. She'll use those locks to drive you mad, Forsaking all you've ever had. She will mesmerize men with her charms As they long to take her in their arms. Is she mermaid? siren? perchance a witch? She'll raise your pulse to a fevered pitch! To merely behold such a lovely face I believe there's hope for the human race. Such beauty has driven many a quest For eons of men to be put to the test. Even as deep inside we're sure We can never be worthy of her allure. In the midst of the night, or brightness of day Her smile lights up rooms half a world away! Her love of life shines through those deep slate-blue eyes, And her sweet inner beauty is the world's precious prize. So come the end of every day There's really just one thing to say: I'm smitten by you, Mandy Moo; You've stolen my heart, and my sanity, too. -For Mandy, by RP, 28JAN2012
