Lucy's Little Pricker
In a locked drawer in the study
is a little leather case
I know just where the key is –
on the stuffed iguana’s base.
Inside, for I have seen it,
is a single glass syringe
with seven vials of poison
and a very rusty hinge.
If I got the critter out
and used its little sticker
the Manor would be mine alone –
Thanks to my poison pricker.

Oh Oh Oh!
You know I could rave on and on about your talents - and how they are all exploding out of you and progressing...but thought the Oh's might just do it!
Wow. Little Lucy, eh?
Very nicely done.
Perhaps not 'our' Lucy -- not yes.
