Louise and Blinky



Louise Alexander
havin a Jolly Rancher
until all her teeth fell out
one day in may
in a country far away
Louise decided to fry a trout
The trout was stinky
it was called blinky
it sizzled away in the pan
then it jumped back to life
gave Louise a fright
and drove away in a van
Louise began to cry
she had no trout to fry
so she walked at a brisk pace
she went to an ice cream man
who sold lollies from a van
and put a smile back on her face!
