Song of Holly the Bold

by Dmitri Skomorochov
I promised to write a "Sister Song" or poem
For every sister of the House.


Holly the Bold, Holly the Brave, and Holly the Seldom Seen,
She's part of our home, part of our hearts, but seldom part of our scene,
So near and yet so far away, so close but never here,
We're lucky if we see her face more than twice a year,

Holly the Bold, Holly the Wise, Holly the Worldly Maid,
She's travelled far and studied hard, and never been afraid,
We've all learned from her wisdom, but some things we'll never know,
She's taught us things that make us blush, but never make us go,

Holly the Bold, Holly the Strong, Holly the Fearsome Scowl,
She can make the men turn tail and run, with just a fearsome growl,
She's fast and fierce and mighty, she'll fight with tooth and nail,
Anyone who stands against her force is doomed to surely fail,

Holly the Bold, Holly the Good, Holly the Loving Soul,
Passion is her heart's desire, true love is her goal,
Her heart will always guide her, and lead her to her dreams,
And her open, loving, friendliness is always what it seems,

Holly the Bold, Holly the Friend, Holly our Sister Dear,
Whenever she is in our hearts, we know she holds us near,
She's a sister right and faithful, a friend when ones in toil,
Holly the Bold, Holly the True, Holly the Ever Loyal.
