Lucky Lu Ellen: A Poem

Lucky Lu Ellen

Lucky Lu Ellen had a bowl full of money.
She lost it all on a race horse named Honey.
Honey was the name they called her in school
'Cause she said her life's goal was to eat some in a pool.
Lucky Lu Ellen didn't know how to swim
So she stayed by the poolside hoping to get in,
Until one day a pesky, mean bee
Came and stuck Lu Ellen right on the knee.
That knee did swell and she winked for the pain,
But that wink hit a boy—he wasn't the same.
