ODE TO GRACIE

Racy Gracie full of beans.
Jumps around by any means.
Landed on the windowsill
A cup of coffee she did spill.

Racy Gracie full of fun.
Watch her go, watch her run.
Running at the speed of light.
Dare to catch me with all your might.

Racy Gracie full of play.
Running running all the day
Knocking over precious stuff
Mischievous Gracie that's enough.

Racy Gracie full of love.
Soft and gentle as a dove.
Fills our hearts with happy things
Watch her fly and spread her wings.

Racy Gracie full of joy
Carrying around her favourite toy.
Chirrups and trills as she goes
What she is playing nobody knows.

Racy Gracie full of leap.
Oh when, oh when will she sleep.
The time will come, just after noon.
And you find her run out of zoom.

Racy Gracie full of kip
No more does she run and skip.
A few hours of peace and quiet,
Until she wakes and causes a riot.
