First Lessons

Ex-smoker in the room,
Old and wrinkly,
Brimming with knowledge.

A smiling face,
Many kind words,
But an empty head.

Grumpy mother hen,
Fed up with the chicks,
Talking Greek all-day.

Young beauty,
Makes a big difference,
But no followers in sight.

Ahead of the times,
Without restrictions,
Barrel with a proud streak.

Fair fish out of the water,
Funny to hear,
Stands out for all to see.

Feisty lioness,
Treasured creature,
Growling sarcastically.

Toad with hawk eyes,
A warm tender heart,
My favorite recipe.
