Happy Birthday, Lucile! (11-19-1903)

Lucy, you spent a life alone too much
a single parent, too often going dutch

kept a kind heart in doing good deeds
forgettin' needs in grass widow weeds

It didn't happen, as you knew too well
that charming prince, in love fairytale

even your own kid was a problem, too
but, thanks to him, I got to know you!
