Line Gauthier Poet Monorhyme

Ernestine and the Wolverine

Ernestine and her friends sweet sixteen
Jean   Irene   Josephine   and Pauline

Dolled up in glamorous aubergine velveteen
Dreamt of being harvest queens on Halloween

Living it up Eugene drove their limousine 
Directly to the drive-in theater widescreen

And there He was    larger than life    The Wolverine
With his deep hypnotic eyes of aquamarine

Twists and turns unforeseen in out and in between
For something not much bigger than a magic bean

Escaped the guillotine somewhere in the Philippine  
Plenty of action all for a figurine of Byzantine

Hearts pitter patter    larger than life    The Wolverine
With the dreamiest hypnotic eyes of aquamarine

Back home Ernestine tossed her poster of Steve McQueen
The pristine one torn last week from a hip teen magazine

There was a new heartthrob on the scene
Sweeter than a bowl of ice scream topped with praline

Sitting to write her love letter to The Wolverine
Seal it with a kiss colour and scent of tangerine
