Thank You, I Love You

Found an old file on the computer, from Mother's Day 1995. Enjoy:

There was an old woman
Who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children
She didn't know what to do.
So she gave them some soup
Without any bread,
Then beat them all soundly,
And sent them to bed.

Now this covered
The Mother's day job alright,
But what did she do
When she stayed up all night?
She washed lots of shirts
And socks all in bunches.
Then she found them some bread,
And made them all lunches.

In the morning she woke
Before the first crack of dawn,
And made up some oatmeal
Because the cereal was gone.
She then woke up her kids,
And heard them all fuss;
But she got them already
In time for the bus.

With the older ones at school
And the young ones under foot,
She read them all stories,
And kept them all put.
For dinner, more soup;
But the sisters and brothers
Offered their love for their’s,
The greatest of all mothers.
