Lily wakens prematurely
make-up lipstick powder nose

Lily pads and prowls the lounge
pirouettes expensive toes

Lily looks askance at laundry
socks and knickers decompose

Lily puts her records on
harmonising talent shows

Lily practises her smile
wearing pantomimic clothes

Lily chatters, tweets and texts
emoticonic overdose

Lily taps and points her feet
at the apostolic rows

Lily snaps her fingers— snap!—
the boys adopt a slavish pose

Lily is beside herself
third person singular she goes
