Exceptional Humorous Love story/poem The Tale of Lilly Pearl by justjo66 Share A Story In A Poem contest entry

Her name was sweet Lilly Pearl She was really quite a girl She met Buford at just fifteen He was handsome, tall and lean Prettiest girl he'd ever seen Soon to be his teenage queen The weddin' it was in the Fall It weren't to be no fancy ball Liquor flowed freely from the jug Tobacco offered by the plug Lilly Pearl dressed in her best This bride would pass the test Hair piled high like Olive Oyl Made the young boys' blood boil Ruby red lips were painted bright Who'd thought Buford would take flight? But then he took off in a run Her papa hadn't brought his gun Down the hollow they both ran Lilly Pearl went after her man The hounds howled and began to chase But found they couldn't keep the pace Buford ran as if on fire Over the creek and through a briar Lilly Pearl close on his heels Buford wouldn't welch this deal Marrying is what they came to do She'd make sure he stayed true Tripped over a stump he did fall Must have been the alcohol Tears did flow from her eyes Why had he told her all those lies? Buford cried out in pain Swearing love, he began to explain "It's just that I forgot the ring! You know you're my everything!" The tale has been told far and wide How Lilly Pearl became a bride And if I should be so bold The moral of the story's told: Never try to outrun a country girl Especially one named Lilly Pearl.
