First Lady Ashleigh

FRANK PAVLICK

Canada’s Sports Poet

– Feb. 23, 2010

See her flying through the fog,

Skiing in thick, heavy snow,

Mountains of Canadians,

Watching her from down below!

She is a World Champion,

Ashleigh of McIvor fame,

Whistler is her native home,

Skis and skiing is her game.

Cypress Mountain … the event,

Women’s Ski Cross … see her go!

Any question of her skill,

Disappeared one race ago!

Medal Gold, Olympic champ,

This First Lady doesn’t wait,

By example to the World,

Ashleigh proves her sport is great!

Now Vancouver parties on,

Now a most exciting thought,

How a Golden Lady skied,

And the fever people caught!
