She's a thoroughly modern Maura;
To know her's to adore her.
She brought Christmas home,
Made special days our own,
Setting aside her own wish-bones,
So we were well-looked after.
(yes, she explained to me
the import of hygiene:
you gotta remember,
we were pretty green
when we first landed on the scene)
And,
From this point on,
We were good on our own.
Yes, I love all my sisters and brothers,
But in my highest esteem,
My Maura tops all others.

Maura: Actually, Mary Alice, but that was only on the B.C.
She's the oldest of the eleven sibs. I'm the seventh.
She was/is the best. Seventy-one years and raising a pint for many more to come.
