LLLLL...


whenever I'm feeling blue
I like to say aloud the letter L
L is for la and loquacious
L is for loafer and lamp
L is for lover and lambent
L is for leaver and latch
I love the shape my tongue takes
tucked behind my teeth,
bowed like a little sail,
billowed by air my lungs make
hey! they also begin with L...
