Wilson Lucille

Lucille was a whale,
     A really big deal.
     She had gone to a whale finishing school.
    Graduated to a really silly pool,
    That made her feel such a fool.


    Lucille had a doctorate in water you see,
    And planned her escape to a much larger lake.


    Took a bath in a bubbly leaf tub.
    Ate all the bubbles,
    Ate all the leaves,
    Grew much bigger than she could please.


    The tub scooted along on three sets of wheels,
    To a tide that pushed the tub aside.


    Lucille landed on a slide,
    ...down the drain,
    ...out in the rain,
    ...across the street,
    ...past pairs of feet.


    Off to the sea where she could be free.
