Capturing Miss Toody

Flamboyant search for a woman who had lost her mind. Luckily she was outrageous and quite easy to find. Her rainbow hair and the braided elephant she rode Were clues easily deciphered, faster than Morse code. She wore a turquoise hat, with a noisy penguin on the top. She shopped at every store, and bought every broom and mop. She was loud and happy, and she sang and danced pure joy. She was amazing and funny, and she delighted every girl and boy. They said she was crazy, the naysayers, the means, and the moody. She was the happiest being in the village, our own delight, Miss Toody. She was funny and cheerful, and made everybody have a happier day. We captured her daily, but every night, we let her squirrel herself away. If this is a woman who has lost her mind Then more of us need to, for she was truly always kind. If this is a woman who needs to be put in a cage, Put me in with her, for to me she is all of the rage.

Wow what a character is Miss Toody they do say that there are more out than in, but as long as we can all be together, count me in also! Hugs, Jennifer.
