Keep the Tattoos to Yourself Lulu
Lulu wanted this, that, those, these and the other.
Thought she deserved them, she dated a rich mother.
He liked tattoos, pretty soon her legs were tatted up.
So many tats, it rivaled the hair on her cat and pup.
Red tats, blue tats, yellow tats, purple tats, black tats too.
We asked her not to tell Grandma as she

Lulu
Oh, Lulu, small but full of might
A ball of joy, my heart's delight
With tiny paws and ears so grand
You rule my home with soft command
Your playful barks, your dancing feet,
The way you curl up warm and sweet.
Big brown eyes that shine so bright
A spark of love, pure golden light.
Through every day, through every storm,
Your little

Aunt Lulu can Change Him
Mulish pic-headed Lex was headstrong
Could never admit a mistake or being any way wrong
Opinionated, stubborn, and inflexible too
We set him up with our mean unbending Auntie Lulu.
She cast a spell, and turned nasty Lex immediately around.
A more compliant, agreeable man, cannot now be found.

Grandma Lulu the Knitting Queen
Grandma Lulu loved to knit.
She was the knitting queen.
She has been doing this for ninety years.
Click. Click. Click. Click.Click.
She lived in a house full of yarns.
Baby yarns, skinny yarns, fluffy yarns, shiny yarns.
Yarns of many colors, light yarns, dark yarns, balls and skeins.
Knit purl purl knit; knit purl, purl, knit.
For Christmas we relatives got slippers.
Blue,

Unlucky Lulu
Lulu was an unlucky woman
Lost three sons
one in a department store in 92
one in an ocean, deeply blue
Where’s the third one? I asked mutual friend, Old Sue
On the sidewalk, playing skip to my Lou
Both of the other boys found their way home too
One was fifty, the other was fifty-two
I barely recognized them said Lulu
This was

Lulu Life Guard
Lifeguard Lulu was a terrific find.
If she liked you and was truly kind.
If you teased her, she would let you float away.
Without guilt, each and every day.
She was good at saving children who were polite.
She would dive right in, if they were in sight.
But the ones who were bullies would wash downstream.
I hope they never

Lulu My Loony Cousin Is Allergic
I am allergic to greens, so none of that will do.
It is my persnickety picky-eating cousin, Lulu.
But surely you are not allergic to lettuce, I say.
Oh, yes, and green beans and peas. The radish can stay.
What about Brussel sprouts?
I am allergic to them too.
She says this with a lip that pouts.
My strange cousin Lulu.
What about

Discussing Aunt Lulu With My Sister
Aunt Lulu is brilliant, a genius.
Are you daft? She is insane.
Her ideas are innovative and selfless.
Her notions are nuttier than a walnut tree.
She is an enigma, elusive and enthusiastic.
Did you get the name right?
She is certifiable, headed for a psych ward.
I have her name and her number thank you.
She is the most intelligent woman I

A Lady Called Lulu
There once was a fat lady called Lulu,
who liked to swim in the deep ocean blue;
in a bathing suit mini,
meant for a lady skinny;
one wave and her bikini went askew !

Little Lulu Grows Up - a Nursery Rhyme
Lulu was Miss Moo-Moo's first baby calf
She wibbelly-wobbled through the straw
But when it came time for her oatmeal
She danced and pranced around the stall.
Miss Moo-Moo called her first baby Lulu
Because, she said, it rhymed with Moo-Moo
And when dancing little Lulu took a spill
Miss Moo-Moo said, “Lulu, you’d better

played till I was blue
her heart as big as a cashew
never did she wander from my side
loved her to pieces
and cut off her hair

A beautiful soul with more purity than the holy divine,

With grace and pride come hold your love
