Lugubrious Loaf!

drip... drip... drip...

Loo... GOO... bree... us... Loo-GOO-bree-us...

There's a sandwich on a picnic bench And nobody came back. The mustard's running. Lettuce wilts. The bread is going SLACK.

sigh...

Poor little loaf out in the rain, The pickles slid away. The cheese gave up. The tomato cried. It's been a Loo-GOO-bree-us day.

Loo-GOO-bree-us! Loo-GOO-bree-us! LUGUBRIOUS — Loo-GOO-bree-us! The saddest soggy loaf in town! Loo-GOO-bree-us! Loo-GOO-bree-us! Even the crust is SLOUCHING down!

drip... drip... sigh...

Loo... GOO... bree... us... Loo... GOO... bree... us...

A pigeon walked up, took one look, Said, "Nope, not even me." The ants marched by, they shook their heads — "Too Loo-GOO-bree-us for ant-tea!"

The clouds above match the loaf below — Grey on grey on grey. A tiny violin starts to play A Loo-GOO-bree-us lay.

Loo-GOO-bree-us! Loo-GOO-bree-us! LUGUBRIOUS — Loo-GOO-bree-us! The saddest soggy loaf in town! Loo-GOO-bree-us! Loo-GOO-bree-us! Even the crust is SLOUCHING down!

sigh...

The word is LONG. The word is SLOW. The word DROOPS as you say it. Loo... GOO... bree... us... Loo-GOO-bree-us! That's how this loaf would play it.

Loo-GOO-bree-us! Loo-GOO-bree-us! LUGUBRIOUS — Loo-GOO-bree-us! Loo-GOO-bree-us! Loo-GOO-bree-us! Loo... GOO... bree... us...

drip.

(...goodnight, sandwich.)
