A Looney Tune

A Looney Tune
By Larry Linville

A couple of loons met one day
and had a love they knew would stay.
Clarence strutted all over town
until his love Delores was found.

It was love at first sight for the pair
and he gave things with nothing to spare.
Their courtship was short and they soon wed
and made a nest back behind the shed.

Before long they had a baby girl loon
who needed a name for her real soon.
As they thought no good ones came
so they decided to share their name.

Mother Delores picked the nickname “Dee.”
Now what name from Clarence to give a she?
“How about Clara?” Delores asked
and that seemed to complete the task.

Their girl became famous as she could be
and soon was known by Claude De Bussy
who sat down and wrote a nice tune
for the cute little Clara Dee Loon.
