Typically Luke Poem 17 - Swollen Lips

Luke’s lips are swollen He doesn’t look that great It must be an allergic reaction To something that he ate Luke’s lips are swollen It’s pretty hard to ignore It can’t be the nuts he scoffed down As he has had loads of them before Luke’s lips are swollen Big lips on him just don’t suit Though some people with a warped sense of humour May think that it looks rather cute Luke’s lips are swollen From what we may never know But now it is time for his medicine So to the doctors poor Luke must go Luke’s lips are swollen Looking like two massive red pearls But the doctor had it figured out He’d been kissing too many girls.
