LOUISE MARTIN

It's hard to believe that anyone
Does so well at ninety-one.
And I must confess
I'm greatly impressed
By what she's done.

There is no medicine that she takes.
Each day, five miles she makes.
Heart repair has scarcely slowed her down.
Her farm she likes to work around
Except when her ankle breaks.

She's a veteran of the Ten Miler.
Her age group records would fill a compiler.
She's very nice to know,
And, as far as I know,
Louise is always a smiler.
