Pippi

I know a woman with a heart of gold
A flame haired legend with a story to be told
She lives in a 'hood known as M9
She eats ice cubes in an inn called The Vine

A sister; daughter; mother and wife
She speaks with a voice that cuts like a knife
She worked in an office next to tram lines
I first met her in a town of swines

She wears long stockings with a 50s dress
I know her as Pippi, I have to confess
Her circle of friends are many and loyal
She has on occasion made my blood boil

An ebullient character who laughs like a drain
She'll pray for you if ever you're in pain
A good heart these days is hard to find
This is a woman who's one of a kind
