ISN'T THIS ROSEMARY?

I have seen that smile before

At the grocer's,

In the academia,

At the here and there;

No doubt you have once heard the name

Rosemary at least you've heard of her fame

She is the true epitome of beauty

She is the craving of most masculinity

So adorable and meek in character

But frown at fuss harder;

She smiles often and that's the mystery,

Of Rose Lina's unfading beauty;

She is the one with the best akimbo style

And every folk her beauty recites;

Africa is blessed with large deposit of beauty,

Rose Lina is born today, let's be jolly;

26th May is the day

Rosemary was born

26th May is the day

My intended sweetheart was born

Belated Happy birthday

Be happy and gay

For today is your day

Dear Rose Lina.
