Marguerite Mcgillicuddy

Marguarite McGillicuddy

Marguarite McGillicuddy
Would not let 
her boots get muddy
No matter which boots 
She would wear
She’d cover them up
with a second pair
and if the mud
came to her knee
Marguarite 
Would put on three
And if the rain
began to pour
Marguarite 
Would put on four
But five pairs of boots
People would talk
And Marguerite
Could hardly walk
The craziest thing
I’ve ever seen
But her boots
Were always clean
Some people called
Her Fuddy Duddy
Marguarite 
McGillicuddy

A wonderful write! What I love about it the most is that it has a whimsical quality that would appeal to children, and certainly appealed to my child-like self.
