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.

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.
