The lovely and delectable Celeb Poet at WORD UP Volume 3.....!!!!!


She came and wowed us all.
Lovely and delectable,
with poise that shines through like marble.
She is a healthy combination of a Beauty and Brains.
She mounted the podium like it was her kingdom.
She flowed words so sweet and tight, that made words shine so bright
Toni Payne came to rock WORD UP Volume 3,
and she made all the pain in our hearts to flee.
