User blog:Discofurby/Rhyming Recaps: Head Poet's Anxiety

Luan was entertaining the senior folks,

On the Giggling Geezer bus with some of her jokes.

When she got off, she told Linc and Clyde, "Hi!,

Telling jokes to the old folks, I'm closer to my,

Ambition to be the youngest person onstage."

Then, she stepped on Lucy, but she didn't show rage.

However, Lucy was sad, for real this time,

Because the officials had rejected her rhyme.

Luan showed Lucy rejection notes of her own,

And then, to her sister, she let it be known,

That when she was eight and told jokes to her pets,

Their response was as negative as a response gets,

And when she performed at the bowling alley quite a while later,

Nearly everybody there was also a hater,

But then she went to clown school and got her own gig,

And now her success is reasonably big.

Lucy said, "I'm a lot happier now,

But I could use some help. Do you think you know how?".

Luan agreed and the first thing to do,

Was to sharpen Lucy's skills, so to her dad and Leni too,

She gave gothic descriptions for the clothes and the food.

They were both happy and definitely not rude.

Luan enrolled Lucy in poetry school.

She rhymed "rose" with "decompose", which teach thought was cool.

The next step was putting her work where they could see,

So she sold gothic pillows to a nursery.

The final step was having a thick skin.

Her siblings said rude stuff and Lola said, "Lynn,

Farts better than you recite," but Lucy replied with a rhyme.

Luan said, "I think that you're ready this time."

Luan and Lucy both rode on the bus.

Lucy said, "Here's a rhyme about the grandfather of us,"

And she rhymed about Pop-Pop. The elders said, "Hooray!",

And Luan said, "You're ready to fly solo today."

Lucy told Luan that she was asked to be part,

Of a poetry festival 'cause they liked her art,

But when she said it was at the theatre, Luan, though proud,

Was jealous for not being the performing Loud.

She tried not to show it, but felt quite bummed out,

And when Lucy came to her, expressing doubt,

About her vocal exercises she almost seemed snide,

But still tried her best to be on Lucy's side.

Lucy asked about clothes and eye contact too,

But Luan got annoyed and stormed up in a stew.

Lincoln said, "I have a nagging suspicion,

That she's jealous" and told Lucy about Luan's ambition.

The next morning, nobody was getting prepared.

Luan said, "What gives? Has nobody cared?".

Lisa said, "It's cancelled, she claims to be sick,

Though her vitals are fine. I suspect it's a trick,

Or perhaps hypochondria," and in her room,

Lucy was lying on her bed with gloom.

Luan said, "I think you're fine. Do you have stage fright?",

And Lucy said, "No, but it doesn't feel right,

Performing when that's a record you wanted to break.",

But Luan said, "Don't give it up just for my sake."

And Lucy wrote a poem about what Luan did,

Which made the clown smile, despite not being first kid.
