My Name Should Be Lucille

My name should be Lucille.
I am that squeaky wheel.
If some things wrong I'll weigh it.
I'm not afraid to say it.
Some may not want to know her.
She's been a whistle blower.
I'm not a quiet bird.
My voice is always heard.
I'll never give you peace, so
just give me that grease.

thanks Kim, unfortunately I am. There's too much wrong in our world not to be, "see something, say something", my motto.
