Having Fun With Words



Linda and Lesley Looked Lovely Leaving Long Beach
Bouncing a Bouncy Beach Ball
But Beverly Bust her Blouse button
Back to the Boutique she must go
Fixing the Fasteners Fife Fixed Fast
So the Four of them can Fly off to Florence then off to France
Four Friends flying high on a plane
Four Friends Frolicking having Fun
In France Four Friends Found a Friend called Frank

Gigi Got Gondolas a Goat and some Gammon
Sam Got Small Soldiers and Some Sandwiches with Spam on
Tea Took some Time as Gigi got Lemon and Lime
Leaving the Table the Tumbler Tumbled
Gigi’s Tonic Toppled over the Table Top
Gigi’s Shirt got too hot So She went off her block
Sam Stood and Stared as the waitress wiped the wares
