Although she was struck by material bling
She was enamored by a simple thing:
A lined court bouncing a ball hit by strings
And her favorite word, "ambition"
Shone in her eyes as she spoke
Proudly of the final she finally passed
In her difficult biology class
And at age 48
She smiled with great
Passion and energy as if
The hammers of mid-life could not leave her stiff
