Old Woman

There was an Old Woman who lived in a shoe; had so many children; didn't know what to do. She fed them and kissed them and put them to bed. By the next day they drove her out of her head.

More shoes to find and socks to match. Washing and ironing and trousers to patch. More tears to dry, and hearts to mend. And the next day she starts all over again.

Some, they want soup and some want bread. And some want nothing 'til it's time for bed. Check all the closets and lock all the doors. Make sure those monsters aren't around any more. Bridge Night and day. Day and night. Everything is a list. Check it off. Mark it "done". Tell me, "what did I miss?' Running here. Here and there. Who's gonna clean up the mess. Pick it up. Put it down. Tell me, "when do I rest?'.
