There once were two gals full of pluck

There once were two gals full of pluck

Their tongue out at the world they stuck

“You think we’re done

Coz we’re seventy-one?

Well, think again, for you’re out of luck!”

Murders right gruesome they cracked

In courage, you see, they ne’er lacked

Said plump Leela: “Come on!

Our lazy days are gone!”

‘Twas awesome how their noggins they wracked!

But Meena the cautious did balk

At killers, and how they do stalk!

“Be wary, my cuz!

            I’d leave it to the fuzz!”

Grinned Leela: “We’re made of good stock!”

So do read the mysteries they crack,

And tell me what’s quite out of whack,

Your comments will lead

To tales with more speed,

That you’ll with great gusto attack!

Their tongue out at the world they stuck
