Bird of elocution
a bird of elocution
she doesn’t speak in English
she sings it
when she speaks
we hear the ring
of dulcet tones and sound
of rhythms and notes
so ear pleasing
that her voice becomes
a part of the message
she is speaking about
and those in the know
know and they make her
a favorite compere and moderator
of august events
so her smiles beam
screen shines when she appears
to cast the news
and interest fresh and new
greets the viewer
and she speaks as well as she writes
a gift wrapped for the TV station
and the book makers world
her flourish is a story
of increase and lifting
her name is Eugenia
the wife of Abu
a fairy godmother of the arts
etiquette defines her
