She was my favoirte; yes that's true:
A unique, unforgettable go-getter,
A non-stop, battling achiever, who
Would always go everyone else one better,
As she outranked the ranks of the common crew.
Her goal was to excel in every way,
Holding to the lead through every mile,
Accepting nothing less than a grade of "A,"
Insisting, with that charming, winning smile,
That excellence was all for which she'd pay.
No one could doubt that when she went away
To Harvard and displayed her brilliance there
That she'd come back with early-earned M.A.
To excel in jobs and career fields anywhere
She chose to seek employment or to stay.

Dr Bill wrote this poem for Claudine Latouche Ellis, who maintained that if she received less than an "A" in any class, she had wasted 10 pct of what whe'd paid to take the course.
