Lisa's Poem- ask and ye shall receive.

Oh Elizabeth, Elizabeth where are you
I've been trying to give you some news
I've been looking everywhere in town
I looked up the street and I've even looked down

You seem to disappear to where I don't know.
It would be easier to find Carmen Sandiego.
You asked me to write you a poem so I did
Now I cant find you and people said you hid

Hiding from me? I can't believe you would
Even though people have avoided me since childhood
I thought you would enjoy the news I have to say
But it seems that you have up and gone away

I can remember the fun times we've had
Forcing you to drink shots that you said were bad.
But you came out OK with just a little headache
I like your motto of, "It's not too much until you're not awake"

You have been a trooper standing strong beside your friends
Not ever quitting even when the police bring it to an end.
"We'll just move the party and wake the neighbors
If they yell at my dog, Ill use my light (hiccup) saber"

But as you know I say this all in jest my friend
Because I can drink more than I think you can
I've never seen you drunk, I don't believe
You are always in control when I leave

I've never seen you mount a friend on a table
I've never seen you throw yourself in a pool
You don't have pictures of your inner thigh on FB  (poetic licensing)
This is because you are in control and totally cool

I still search for you, Lisa, my long lost friend
And I will keeping looking until the end
I have to tell you some news that you must hear
OK.. fine I'll tell you.. We need to have a beer.
