To Terry

This is for you...

It is always a joy

To start your work seeing Terry

With her big smile and open arms ready

She hugs like a teddy

You feel comfy and cozy

Her laughter and excitement

Enough to survive a challenging shift

Catering to their whims

To accommodate their special needs

Is a lot, if you come to think of it.

Terry's back rubs are quite a treat

When you get the chance to rest

Terry likes to paint her nails

Blue for recycling trucks

Green for garbage trucks

Yellow for sunshine

Red and purple and orange

Are just among her favorite

She loves animals

Birds, dogs, squirrels

She will always set aside

Food to feed her animal friends

When the weather is nice.

She won't stop bugging you

When her bird seed supply is low

She will only stop if you tell her

You call Andy to place her order

She looks forward on Thursday

To see her bestfriend Tracy

To paint their nails together

And share a homecooked dinner

Friday is another day

That Terry gets excited

To be picked up by Ralph

Her favorite bus driver

To go to Gregory

Where she gets to spend

With Justin another dear friend

Reading book and eating lunch together

But Terry is not all goody-goody

She can also be moody and grumpy

She doesn't like to be teased

But she is easy to please

She can't handle jokes

They can ruin her day

And you will be her enemy

But only for a day

Terry, Terry, Terry

What an incredible lady!
