I know an old lady who was very lonely.
She was smart, nice and never a phony.
Painting and thinking, she was turning quite crone-y
Now, THAT is for sure, a lot of baloney.
I know an old lady who had enough
Of dust bunnies, TV, and other boring stuff.
Looking around at her life in a castle,
She needed adventure, and even some hassles.
She needed a reason to get out of her bed,
A very good reason for a hat on her head.
I know an old lady who’d had enough,
Of dust bunnies, TV, and other boring stuff
So she searched through the want ads
Became brave and tough,
For this very old lady, that had enough
Of Dust bunnies and painting and other boring stuff
She knew something better just had to be found.
Something for her the next corner around
I know an old lady who had just enough
Of dust bunnies, TV, And other boring stuff.
Scared as she was, she went for a meeting.
All the others were staring at her and her seating.
Specialists in this and Experts in that
All staring at her adjust her hat.
Answers, they poured out of her head.
The answers she had could’ve put them in bed.
They tried trick questions that some might not know,
But off course, of course, her they couldn’t throw.
I know an old lady who had enough
Dust bunnies, TV, and other boring stuff.
So she threw down her vacuum and her controller,
She dug out her briefcase, (a fine one, a roller).
She found her old whistle, still bright as a jewel,
And waited for THE call from this sweet little school.
I know an old lady who had quite enough
Of dust bunnies, TV, and other boring stuff.
She answered the phone to a principal dear,
They wanted her close, they wanted her near.
In Room 56, with 1st Graders around her,
So much to learn, even at her old age,
66 is the new 30, or that’s what they say.
I know an old lady who’s going out the door
Not to the market, or bank, or the store.
She’s un-retiring to teach the little’s she loves
A class picked for her from her Father above.
I knew that old lady, because she was me
Growing older by the minute, I had to get free
And back to my work, so much left to do,
And with that, I bid you a fond and quite happy
Toodle-Oo!
More tomorrow.
