Nantucket


There once was a girl from Nantucket

.................

Who brought home lollipops by the bucket
They were quite sweet
And she thought it a treat
To take one out and suck it
.................
Whose job it was to scrape muck, it
It was quite a bore
To do this odd chore
But she could think of no way to duck it
.................
Who said if an eyebrow offends one should pluck it
She was quite vain
But I thought it insane
When she took a botox filled needle and stuck it
.................
Who found a big bell and struck it
The people from town
Came running around
They thought someone had kicked the bucket
.................
Who had a exceedingly ancient old truck, it
Wouldn't run right
So late one night
She took a baseball bat and struck it
.................
Whose favorite composer was Gluck, it
Seemed the right thing
To give him a ring
But Willibald had, alas, kicked the bucket
.................
Who was advised to read a book about Huck, it
Was a tale 'bout a river
That someone had give her
It was darn good advise , so she tuck it
.................
Who picked up a guitar to pluck it
Her fingers got sore
So she finally swore
To take her musical career and chuck it
.................
Who bought a new truck, it
Was gone the next morn
And she was forlorn
Someone just came up and tuck it
.................
Who had a little too much pluck, it
Was late in the night
When she went out to fight
The cops brought her home in a bucket
.................
Who had unusually bad luck, it
Seemed like the thing
To learn how to sing
But her voice hit a window and bruck it
