See, she’s:<\/p>\n
Smart as a tack,<\/p>\n
She can solve complex problems without ever skipping a beat,<\/p>\n
She’s got a very long memory,<\/p>\n
And it goes back,<\/p>\n
As far as any eye can see.<\/p>\n
She’s cunning,<\/p>\n
A survivor through and through,<\/p>\n
She wears all black,<\/p>\n
And has talent for planning creatively.<\/p>\n
She loves to play,<\/p>\n
And she thrives in the rain.<\/p>\n
Keeps her beloved, tight family,<\/p>\n
Close to her home-base tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
