This is inspired by my nine year old niece, Shawna, and her new found
love of Stan on Due South. I also dedicate this to all my nieces
and
nephews :-) Your Aunt Magan loves you!

My Little Due South Fan
by Magan
I glance at the clock
>From hearing the loud knock
Only six in the morning
I was still deep in snoring
My nine year old niece
Gives me no peace
She comes in and closes the door tightly
"Oh wow, you sleep really lightly."
Hmph! She hops up next to me
When normally sleeping I would be
She tries to wake me up more
And I go tumbling to the floor
I open my eyes
And I finally realize
When she yells through her mouth,
"I wanna watch Due South!"
Mm-hmm, of course
Well, you've come to the right source
I put a Due South tape in the VCR
As she munches on a breakfast bar
The only fourth grader I know
Who loves this amazing show
No one in the house understands
For we're the only two Due South fans
Her eyes are glued to the TV
Saying, "Move! I can't see!"
I made her another fan
Of our man Stan
My niece, the pre-teen
Walks up and kisses the TV screen
So we sit and watch him a while
Grinning ear to ear in a huge smile
And it's really hard for me to believe
My little girl is growing up right before me
Though stopping that
I know I can't
So I treasure these moment, small
Before she goes running off to the mall
And before tomorrow has gone away
Taking us all to another day
When she'll be in high school
And she'll think I'm totally un-cool
We'll be able to look back to today
And remember what Fraser would say
"Thank you kindly."
Then we'll smile warmly
But for now we giggle like school girls
And she thinks, "Due South Rules!!"
And she's absolutely right
We'll be watching more tonight
Me and my little Due South fan
The End
