Anglo-Saxon Boast

 I am Alexandra, dweller of the suburbs.

Daughter of Tracey, educator of small humans,

And Joseph, protector of lands.

Sister of Merrick, beater of music-cylinder

I hail from the land of potatoes and the land of haggis.

Player of wind instruments, player of future-lute

Painter of things, reader of books.

I conquer all music through my shiny sound-makers

Paper flies to me in my presence,

Knowing I will beautify it

with my pencil and paintbrush.

I have been inducted into the high honor music gathering!

I have achieved academic accomplishments.

Words have dashed out of books and into my brain-bucket.

People laugh when I bear words,

Because of the plethora of humor in me!

The bards shall sing of me for centuries!

For I am the clipper of hedges,

The doer of homework,

And the picker-upper of doggie poop!
