Ol' Ali Benali

Ol' Ali-benali,
of the Courtney kind;
her age did not dally,
or leave her behind,

but kept marching since birth
right past seventeen,
that's years on "God's Good Earth"
- you know what I mean.

She's done got her Licence,
had drinks at the Pub,
been Working Full-time-ance
no longer a bub!

Now, she's gone past eighteen
though not quite the TWENT;
technically still a TEEN,
her humour's still bent!

Glad she's continuing,
and shared with us here.
Al, keep under God's wing
in your twentieth year!
