Little Lola

Little Lola



Little Lola felt left out in life. / She told herself / that luck controlled her / and she truely believed / that only by loyally following / an exalted leader / could she be delivered from her solitude. / Unfortunately, she learned a little late / that her life was her own to deal with. / When she realized it, / she was already eligible for Social Security / and she had lent her lifelong earnings / to a lowlife in Long Beach. / She lay on her linoleum / and slid along the floor in anguish. / A little later, / she leapt up and laughed. / She no longer longed / for a leader / to tell her how to live her life. / Little Lola was finally all well.
