Testimonial for Tin

A young friend of mine who will be graduating from college in a month's time, requested that I write a testimonial for her for inclusion in her college's yearbook. I was about to write a typical testimonial but found the idea too boring. I ended up writing the following poem for her:

'Tis not easy to pen a testimonial
worthy of someone like Tin.
Indeed, what words are there to say
about all that she has been?
Nevertheless, here's a feeble attempt,
as per her request, after edits umpteen:

A is for arachnophobic
as well as alto supreme:
watchful eyes for eight-legged crawlies,
keen ears for notes unseen.
Burdened with two dozen units
and a thesis to boot,
she still manages to smile
and, oh yes, sleep until noon!
Ennui never comes a-visiting
whenever Tin drops by
with an droll tale or two to share,
especially about... my, oh my!
Nothing, nada, zip, zilch
is there for me to complain
about friends such as she
who help keep one sane.
In short, I am fortunate to have known her
these eleven months and a year.
So, Tin, many thanks! I'll miss you!
And may God bless your life and your career.
