On Soappie's Shiny Floor
What was old and worn
not nice to see
is now all shiny bright
and we've oohed and aahed
at Soappie's pics
much to her delight
There was a young lady called Valli
who would occasionally go quite do-lally
if her pegs didn't match
she'd buy another batch
and only then would she rally
Best I can do I'm afraid!I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
