Best Lucille Poems

Here lies the remains of the great Lucille Ball
The best fiery redhead comedian of them all
Even after she kicked drunk Desi Arnez to the curb
Her vitameatavegamin TV episode was superb

Queen Lucille Ball
Hollywood’s comedian doll;
never considered an entertaining drip,
stuffing her mouth in the “Chocolate Factory” clip….

Lucy And Ricky


That old TV show, 'I Love Lucy', was fun!
     With style, Lucy made us all laugh at each one 
of her silly faces and 'dingbat' displays.
     But yet, she was clever and smart in her...

notes fading down on Beale Street

There once was a lady named Lucille.
At times she fell asleep at the wheel.
In spite of wake-up antics,
Needing a caffeine sip-fix,
She imbibed Mountain Dew with great zeal!

Love sublime
under a rhymed
connection made with her
incredibly brillant caresser,
Lucille is played
like the lover she is,
ever and always B.B.

For those unfamilar with the music of B.B. King, Lucille is the name of his guitar....

There was a character named Lucille Ball,
her I love Lucy shows fun to recall;
Lucy could jokes deliver,
laughing - we cry a river;
and this funny redhead was a real doll !

Lucille bought herself a three-wheeled trike
Better for her than a two-wheel bike
Her age was catching up
When she had a slip-up
Running over a three-year-old tyke.

Police charged Lucille with manslaughter
With no jail time, thanks to her daughter
Quashing spectacles, 
No more vehicles
And keeping off the police blotter.

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...

Sister Lucille bought a dirt bike next
Leaving her family somewhat vexed
Her aim is speed,
She doesn’t need
Which leaves us incredibly perplexed.

My twin sister Carolyn is wildly creative.
She has made me a Lucille Ball purse.
It is fabulous; I love it!

There is a cartoon montage of Lucy all over it.
Many recognizable faces on various episodes of I Love Lucy.
I carried it around to several stores today.

Strangers begged...

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.

Now there's no old man sitting there,
just an empty rocking chair.
But the things he said will always be around.

The Gambler is now at rest, on a train bound for nowhere.,
and sometimes all the nights can be so long.
I've longed for love like everyone else does,
longing...

Hollywood’s Lucille Ball, loved by many, 
had an enormously profound effect on me.

She was funny and kind and goofy,
and so wonderful, she lit up my 1960’s TV.

My favorite show of hundreds of thousands
is of her and Ethel making candy.

Until Carol Burnett came along, I thought...

Lucille Ball
Made us laugh, playing hardball
With dingbat displays
And clever, nonsensical ways!

Desi Arnaz
Caused mayhem with pizzazz
Zaniness we loved to view
As he broadened the hullabaloo!
