Lu's 18th Birthday

​

From Cyprus through to Portbury

The ages of Louise

She’s always been a character

If sometimes hard to please

Expelled from bondue army

She took to roller blade

At swimming just a natural

Put others in the shade

Collecting crystals on the beach

And cards of Pokemon

It was a perfect childhood

Long hours spent in the sun

Back in rainy England

Warm days were hard to catch

But brightness then arrived one day -

A Christmas pup named Patch

Lou’s schooldays now are in the past

She’s blossomed beautifully

With Colonel Sanders’ diet plan –

Hard work at KFC.
