Excellence Award in the 'Top Secret 2016' competition

She's as pretty as a rose
but just because of her nose.

She's as tall as a tree
but just because she's free.

She's kindest of them all
but whenever she's at the mall.

She's funny as a clown
but only when she wears her gown.

My mum, my mum
I am happy to be your son.
