Miss Pat and Her Rules
The list of infractions
caused many to bypass Miss Pat’s residence
Home for Glistening Seniors.
Many moved toward more lively establishments
That allowed fraternizing, drinking and dancing
All the things her home banned.
Miss Pat had dispensed with two rules
hoping to win them back.
Going to bed at seven
and waking up at four a.m.
She liked to serve breakfast at five.
Apparently it was not enough.
She was out of business in a short time.
