Lilyism
Lily wakens prematurely
make-up lipstick powder nose
Lily pads and prowls the lounge
pirouettes expensive toes
Lily looks askance at laundry
socks and knickers decompose
Lily puts her records on
harmonising talent shows
Lily practises her smile
wearing pantomimic clothes
Lily chats on MSN
emoticonic overdose
Lily taps and points her feet
at the apostolic rows
Lily snaps her fingers - snap!-
the boys adopt a slavish pose
Lily is beside herself
third person singular she goes
