My sister Lucille tried levitating
A practice which she found elevating
One foot up, then plop
Her body it dropped
And her arthritis is escalating.

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.

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

Sister Lucille enjoys skateboard riding
Weather and her arthritis providing
Lucille has skinned-up knees
From banging into trees
She has never mastered her colliding.

Lucille found a sport without a single hitch
A two-wheeler was definitely her niche
Until she lost her balance
Racing a scooter challenge
And landed in a water-filled drainage ditch.

The fifties brought on dazzling star Lucille
Zany and bubbly she was ideal 
O like no other sitcom
Pure entertainment for Mom
Laughing at each week's new crazy ordeal

Back-road Delta Blues...
Face twisted in pain and joy
with that extra appendage
attached to his heart
His royal electric queen
and long-time lover Lucille...

My name should be Lucille.
I am that squeaky wheel.
If some things wrong I'll weigh it.
I'm not afraid to say it.
Some may not want to know her.
She's been a whistle blower.
I'm not a quiet bird.
My voice is always heard.
I'll never give you peace, so
just give me that grease....

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

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....

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!

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!

B.B. King continues to 
   sing the blues 
sings "They say things will get better but I don't believe that's true"
Black people are not the only 
  people who get the blues 
   I have had them, believe me 
You can sing the blues in poetry if you want to 
   B.B. King - still singing and playing "Lucille"
       I can relate!...

My sister Lucille was extremely bored
She tried surfing on an ironing board
Knobby knees spread wide,
She damned nearly died
One imagined whitecap and she was floored.

Our nympho neighbour called Lucille
Yodels after sex, how she'd squeal
My poor husband Paul
Just bangs on the wall
As paper thin walls aren't ideal!

Lu’s bonking for hour upon hour
Just pausing to grab a quick shower
Though she’s aged ninety eight
Lucille’s sex life is great -
Young lovers have got staying power!

Emily Post wrote a note to
William Tell and his apple.

A book, a quiver, a river;
Shoot an arrow right in the
Heart of a big, deviled egg.

Go to Heck, and live to tell
The story of Adam, Eve and
The Apple. Sweet and juicy!

Charlie Brown and Lucille Ball
He finally caught ball in the Fall.
Peanuts for elephants and reading.
Good breeding is the key to seeding....

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.
