Tenacious Tilley Willy

There was a Tilley Willy in her back
It was a seasoned one with pneumonia hack.

Sasha had been trying to shake it since lunch
It had grown up with the McMillian bunch.

It had tentacles that wrapped around her twice.
Tilley Willy thought living inside her was truly nice.

Other humans and dogs have ticks, lice and fleas.
She kept begging it to leave using manners and please.

The Tilley Wiley was determined to stay forever
Then she met a comedienne quite nice and clever

So she encouraged Sasha to stand really close
And that Tilley Wiley jumped from host to host.

Sasha’s pneumonia promptly and abruptly went away
The comedienne had a ridiculous cold the very next day.
