Trix

She looks much younger seventy not much more
And who would believe that she is eighty four
She keeps her house clean each day vacuum the floor
That marvellous lady Trix who lives next door.

She has lived in Wonthaggi all of her life
And for many years she was devoted wife
Till her husband died some thirty years ago
But Trix still live and her great grand children grow.

Perhaps the oldest person in Watt Street
But there's still much life in those tireless hands and feet
She still plays bowls and keeps on keeping on
And most of her childhood friends long dead and gone.

She gave me pikelets that she baked a treat
The most delicious cakes I ever eat
And to her friends she has added one friend more.
That marvellous lady Trix who lives next door.
