Lady Lil from Lansing

internal rhyme Lil knows skill without frill; she’s talented, sharp and agile. Lady Lil moves in many grooves and improves with each try. When she sits, she throws fits, but never quits her rally cry. Lady is her team’s mascot, quite the right sight - non-fragile. In gym, she skips, does dips, her hips bouncing like jelly; Observe, at Spring Fling comps, she can swing flags as smooth as cream. Wearing gloves, she loves her rifle drill - The Dying Doves' Dream. Boyfriend Bill will wink, then blink in sync with her belly. Lil’s so zealous; Bill gets jealous which should compel us while we examine the famine which is jammin’ in Lansing. They go dancing and prancing, he has in mind romancing; but she’s the boss of floss. He is cross, but yields to her style. May 22, 2019 Overzealousness matched with excessive acquiescence can encourage a famine in relationships. Uplifting can be mistaken for genuine feeling.
