There was a young woman
Who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children
It felt like a zoo.
No sandal could hold them
No sneaker or clog.
10 children plus animals-
cats, fish and dog.
She had several husbands
#'s 1,2 and 3.....
Who croaked before she did
Once again she was free
#4 was a bum
He died of a stroke
All husbands had left her
Lonely and broke
Now older, not wiser
It was time to move on
All of the children had
Grown up and spawned
To Florida she goes
For some fun and some sun
To meet #5
Now our poem is done
