She has freckles all over her face
and is the loveliest girl I've ever seen
She likes to wear lace
on her body: that of a beauty queen.
She has the greatest smile
and her etiquette is great
She makes my life worthwhile
and my poor heart inflate.
She's vicious and she's wild
and even a volleyball star
Her lips are sweet and mild
and simply the best by far.
I fell in-love with her
because she is so unique
It couldn't have been an err
'cause now my life's complete!

Inspired by Gadija Jappie, a red haired girl I first saw in 1990 when I started playing volleyball. She went on to become the captain of the South African volleyball team..
