A Perfect Pair: Michele And Glyn Work Together

Peanut butter and jelly; curry and rice,
Michele and Glyn, perfect sugar, and spice
Sweet Michele is as fierce as they come
She always says, “Work together and things get done.”

Spicy Glyn is as kind as morning dew
She always says, “Do your best and always say, thank you.”
When the pandemic began, everyone felt so lost
Scarborough needed help almost at any cost

Michele and Glyn both had years of wisdom earned
Leading is about helping, that’s what they’d learned
Their teams were waiting, ready for suggestions
Michele and Glyn said, “Just ask the right questions!”

How can we do this? How can we help you?
It’s all about teamwork and always say, thank you
Their teams, all the doctors, nurses, janitors too
All came together, they had to come through

The people of Scarborough are as grateful as ever
That Michele and Glyn, worked together!

The End.
