Homeless In Hackensack

I once knew a woman in Hackensack Toted what she had in a small rucksack As she walked the streets, Looking for someone neat To take the cumbersome load off her back. written November 1, 2021

Andrea, thanks. I started out trying to write something funny. It popped into my head during the night. Then, I realized it wasn't a funny situation at all. Oh, well...I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hello Milton, It sounds like she is carrying a heavy load. I hope someone helped her to unload he heavy load. Enjoy your day my friend.

Oh, I'm sure she did, Darlene. Thanks for the visit. Incidentally, I don't think I've ever been in Hackensack!

I hope she found someone or at least a grocery cart! This has a prancy tune.

I originally wanted to write a funny limerick, and then I realized this situation was not so funny after all!
