Lara
Gribble
Voice
of young wisdom
'Twas
mid Friday evening,
On
the Mayo drive-time show.
Up
pops a caller to ask,
For
a song to add to the flow.
A
bright little button,
Who
really knew how to chat.
She
replied in a manner,
That
knew nothing of flat.
Recalling
the days schooling,
She'd
been making some stamps.
Featuring
the founders of Rome,
Before
heading out to a dance.
But
what caught our attentions,
Was
the way that she spoke.
Eloquent,
thoughtful and totally light,
A
sense of wonder, she could evoke.
When
asked by Simon the host,
About
friends from her class,
She
revealed to us all, about
The
trials of Lewis in a plaster cast.
Despite
the broken arm mending,
His
stamps had been the best.
She
sang out his praises,
With
a youthful, sweet zest.
The
lilt of her voice,
Was
just so pleasant to hear.
With
an almost hypnotic tone,
Her
conversation delivered so clear.
I'm
sure the whole country,
Would
agree with this pearl.
She
brought a smile to our faces,
Telling
us all, of her world.
And
raised the mood of our weekends,
Choosing
Billie Jean as her song.
What
a credit to her parents,
With
her pleasant manner so strong.
So
let's bring her back on,
Correspondent
to the Radio 2 arts.
Every
week on Friday drive-time,
Would
be a suitable start...
With
the views of a child,
At
our heart strings she'd nibble.
Bringing
restored faith to our nation,
You
are a joy, Lara Gribble......
and the drive-time crew.

Please note the picture is not Lara, just a chosen image until perhaps I could add the real Lara , star of the show, with her parents consents
