Cillarear!



Her name was White, but now it is Black,
any day, anywhere, she could you `Cillasmack`
she’s bubbly, she’s luverly-`a lorra, lorra fun`,
with no fuss she’ll `move mountains`-get any job done,
families parted, dear ones gone missing for many a year,
our lass re-unites them, ultimately bringing good cheer,
"It’s Cillarear", she wails to her `victims` on the `phone,
"I’ve been `set up`-whodunit", they would usually groan?
Through it all, whether in studio, or perhaps out on location,
where there’s gloom she brings light, to sadness-elation,
"she will eventually go to Heaven-but not yet, we hope,
(I’ll put in a good word, when I next see the Pope!)
`More power to her elbow-may she please flourish long,
she’s definitely got the `heart` she sang of in song!

Jennifer Kersey 1993.
