Mushroom Marmie
Mushroom Marmie, possibly the oldest auntie alive
Counted her nieces and nephews, there were twenty-five
They loved her to pieces for she had a sense of humor.
Felt horribly bad when she developed a cancerous tumor.
Mushroom Marmie was well-loved by the town too.
Had largest funeral ever when the trumpet blew.
By that time her nieces and nephews numbered sixty-two.
Thanks to nothing that she had ever done or would do.
