Par For the Course

My sister Lucile sold her acoustic guitar To buy a hot motor scooter with a sidecar Her bad luck, they soon separated On which she hadn’t calculated But I said, “For her that’s definitely a par!” Written July 15, 2022

I'm glad you are getting a kick out of Lucille, Caren. She's a card!

Crikey, Milt. If Lucille’s on the road, I’m sending my licence back!

Well, be glad she isn't for long because every vehicle she tries she quickly lands up in a ditch or the hospital!

I don't know how long Lucille will stay around...these things stay around for a while and then vanish! Anyway, I am so happy that she gave you a laugh or two.

If she'd have been smart, She'd learn to play bass, Add some wheels and a motor, Drive all over the place. And then, out of gas And down on her luck, She could open her case, Get tips while she plucked.

Lucille is cursed by Murphy's Law? Poor woman. I'm sure you'll keep us informed of her continuing adventures. lol

(chuckling) You know, I probably could sit for hours and write verses about Lucille, but I'll probably grow tired of her soon! She is definitely cursed!
