Little Lilly

LILLIAN ‘WOKE ONE MORNING
FEELING ODD AND SUCH
FOR LILLY
NOW HAD THE ABILITY
TO SPEAK DUTCH
SHE GOT DRESSED AND MADE HER BED
ASKED HER MOM FOR EGGS
BUT GOT A STRANGE LOOK INSTEAD
SO SHE GRABBED A SNACK
THEN WAITED FOR THE BUS
DOWN IT CAME THE ROAD
DRIVEN BY GUS
SHE GREETED GUS
THEN STEPPED ON BOARD
GUS JUST SHRUGGED
AND DROVE ON FORWARD
AT SCHOOL LILLY SAW MRS. ROW
LILLY SAID HI, BUT WHAT SHE’D SAID
MRS. ROW DIDN’T KNOW
AT RECESS LILLY PLAYED WITH KRISTIN
KRISTIN WOULD LISTEN, BUT HADN’T A CLUE
WHAT LILLY WAS SAYING, NEITHER DID SUE
NEITHER DID ANY OF HER FRIENDS
BUT HAVE NO FRET
THEY ALL PRETENDED TO UNDERSTAND
HER NEW DIALECT
THE DAY PRESSED ON AND ALL WENT WELL
THEN THE KIDS WERE DISMISSED
AT THE SOUND OF THE BELL
THEY ALL DASHED FOR THE DOOR
EAGER TO PLAY
OFF LITTLE LILLY WENT
ON HER MERILY WAY
SHE HOPPED AND SKIPPED
HER WAY TO MIKES PETSTORE
FOR SHE HAD TWO FISH AT HOME
AND WANTED ONE MORE
LILLY WALKED ON INSIDE
SAW MIKE AT THE COUNTER
ASKED HIM FOR A FISH;
HOWEVER MIKE DIDN’T ANSWER
SO SHE POINTED AT THE BIGGEST FISH
AND MIKE NODDED
AS IF TO IMPLY
HE KNEW WHAT SHE WANTED
BUT BEFORE RINGING HER UP
MIKE KINDLY REPLIED:
OH, DEAR LITTLE LILLY
TO YOU I DO CONFIDE
NO WHERE ELSE IN TOWN
CAN ONE FIND A BIGGER FISH
BUT THE LANUAGE YOU SPEAK ISNT’ DUTCH…
IT’S GIBBERISH!
