Lucinda's Prom Date

All eyes were on Lucinda when she arrived at the prom.

Lucinda’s Prom Date

 

By Elton Camp

 

Lucinda’s an egotistical girl , but a cutie

She has a bad tendency to act too snooty

Bob Akins asked if he might be her date

But him as an escort she didn’t highly rate

 

Bob knew just what might make her agree

“My father’s big Cadillac he’ll lend to me.”

She thought others so jealous would become

When in a Cadillac she arrived at the prom

 

Lucinda dressed to the hilt with great delight

To make a glamorous entrance on prom night

When Bob arrived, Lucinda nearly did faint

“Why, Bob, surely your car that one ain’t.”

 

Bob’s father of the funeral parlor was the owner

A place people were taken when they’re a goner

So Lucinda, her lack of attention began to curse

She would be arriving at the prom in a hearse
