Oh That Suzy

If Suzy sells sea shells at the sea shore
       and has supposedly sold them for some time
after all these years, 
Why hasn’t Suzy had the sense to save some coin
       or secure herself a real job


So surely, you say, I should let Suzy be
       to sell her damn sea shells all day by the sea
It’s silly but she’s simply squealing with glee
With sunshine and shells,
       she’s much smarter than me

Still chuckling. Brought to mind a poem I wrote about "selling seashells" some time ago. Yours is so much better, Mike. I loved it.
