L Lucinda the
Little Leprechaun from Lapland
Lucinda was a little
leprechaun from Lapland
a land full of large lama’s and lava flows, lakes and lavish lampposts,
but she longed to travel. She had learnt much of life beyond Lapland and
her home town of Lilliput Lusitania
The LUSITANIA’s
first port of call was LICHTENSTEIN which was unusual because it is Land Locked, but Captain Luke said he had been following a large flock of Lapwings as he had got a little
lost. Lucinda the leprechaun liked Captain Luke a LOT, LISTENING to his tales of life at sea, which as we all know is a liquid.
Once ashore in Lichtenstein
Captain Luke took Lucinda Line Dancing and bought her Lichen Soup, and as they chatted Love bloomed, as it does. The Liners departure had been delayed due
to large colonies of Limpets that were making the ship List to the left. So Captain Luke
took Lucinda to the park where
they lingered to look at the sunset as lyre birds sang limericks in a line of
lime trees.
Unbeknown to both Captain Luke
and Lucinda though hiding in the lavish lush leaves of a Larch tree was Lieutenant Larry Larson the liners
Lifeguard, he leered and lusted after Lucinda and made lewd
gestures at Lucinda and lots of them, he had Learnt these from a lexicon of knowledge; the Captain was livid and called him a lecherous leach. But Lieutenant Larson was high in the tree
and just laughed. But he did not
know that leopards are very good
climbers and Lex the Leopard was up the larch tree like lightning up a lamp
post where the leopard ate Lieutenant Larson and licked his lips.
They then returned to the
liner and were married (that’s Captain Luke
and Lucinda not the leopard and the Lieutenant) and the liner left for London
.
I love the line "as Lyre birds sang Limericks in a Line of Lime trees." That was quite poetic Rob Z.
ReplyDeleteThe Lil man did not enjoy the romance part so much but soon perked up and cheered at the eating part...where did I go wrong?? Another fine post Mr Z. :)
Poetic? . . . . . . . . . . DAMN that was not meant to happen.
DeleteI entirely agree with the Lil man
I LAUGHED as I LOOKED at your LORE.
ReplyDeleteI think I have around 800 blogposts too, but they are spread across several blogs. Hard to get an eXact number, as my main writing blog had several hidden posts that were never published.
It is a pretty day here. After gumboing I plan to water my grapevines and play with Cooper. I just realized that the word 'gumboing' seems to have an internal conflict. It has the gum part which implies sticky, or staying in place, whereas the boing is the sound of bouncing, neither of which have much to do with soup.
You might make a sticky bouncy soup.
DeleteIt is raining here today, the weatherman said it was going to be sunny, he LIED.
I had the same thing happen - 0 Percent Precipitation Predicted - yet there was definitely rain AND thunder. I made the word and uppercase instead of thunder since thunder actuaLLy happens (starts) farther away before you actuaLLy hear it, unleSS of course the here of the thunder where it's starts happens to be eXactly where you are, then it's a here hear hair situation, and my use of the word hair there was a reference to the tiny sound receptors inside your ear.
DeleteWell as they say if you hear the thunder you are OK because that is God shouting missed. If you don't hear the thunder you have been struck by lightning and g
DeleteGod does not shout missed he says, HELLO welcome to heaven......
If the Leopard and Lieutenant had been married instead, it would have been a very different story...a disturbing story.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Captain Luke reminds me of Lon Chaney for some reason.
Lon Chaney, that is very COOL, that might explain why he was OK with a Leopard on board.
DeleteLOVE it :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's only fitting that the lecherous lieutenant wound up lining the leopoard's... l(stomach)
It is a tale with a moral.
DeleteNever unset a person with a pet Leopard.
Lovely.
