The Web Poetry Corner - Wesley A. Storer - Lily was there
Lily was there
by
Wesley A. Storer
With Lily Tomlin's adlib from "The
search for signs of intelligent life
in the Universe", by Jane Wagner.
She was truly a season's splendor passing
It seemed for her wild Irish roses grew
Filled with their golden nectar enclosed
Their pink fragrance pure wind flowing
As with flashing eyes her story she told
Chocolate chestnut eyes of glowing coals
Eyes brighter than glorious orbiting moon
That day I heard Lily Tomlin spoon
The most brilliant ad-lib I ever did hear
In Schubert theater of Boston's yesteryear
FROM
"The search for signs of
intelligent life in the Universe."
I heard her bag lady chracter say
"I wish someone had told me before I
started out,
How boringly predictable life becomes
when you have everything."
And than a man in the back balcony shouted
"Lay off the Kennedys"
Lily stopped her show and solemly apologized
We never found out what the man meant
by hollering "Lay off the Kennedys"
NEXT?
Why don't you look at
the nuns bum
