High Praise

She rose above the clamor
Exceeded expectations
Held up a guiding light
For people and for nations

She beat the competition
And held the crooks at bay
Her operatic singing
Could be heard from miles away

You cannot help but notice
When she walks into a room
They say that when she flies a kite
It makes a sonic boom

She’s unusually strong
And wow she’s fast!
She graduated at the top of her class
But the last detail is rather small—
She’s exactly eight and a half feet tall.
