L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

Lily Mae Mcswiggle

Lily Mae McSwiggle buttered her blueberry croissant
And talked about her distant long-dead aunt
A fascinating way for us teachers to spend our mid-morning break
Almost more than most of us, especially me, could take.
I said to McSwiggle, “Break-time is for a little peace and quiet!”
It was obvious she was not paying any attention to her diet
So, we had to listen, like it or not, to how McSwiggle’s aunt died
I couldn’t get that woman to shut up, no matter how hard I tried!
