Neil 'N Lucille

You had to know Lucille Every morning nothing but oatmeal She never skipped a meal Her favourite colour was teal And loved to wear soft chenille Her pet was a beautiful cockatiel And every night drank chamomile Out of crystal cut pinwheel She believed life had handed her a misdeal And stopped pretending to feel Lucille liked things to be even keel How things changed when she met charming Neil Propelling his sporty automobile Until all four tires would squeal Somehow it was instant undeniable appeal They were an item and a big deal And soon became ‘Neil and Lucille’ They got to know each other piecemeal Both actively fought to save the endangered seal (But both love to eat fish, chicken and veal) Both had been through their own ordeal But that now seemed somewhat unreal And much preferred to dawdle in the surreal With their hearts doing somersaults and cartwheels AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on March 17, 2018
