Old Lady Stinky Feet

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
And I bet it stunk to high heavens!
And if she really lived in that thing
The size was bigger than elevens

There's nothing worse than a stinky foot
Well, I mean, unless there are two
What in the world is wrong with this woman
Who chooses to live in a shoe?

Has she never heard of athlete's foot?
I'll bet her walls are stretched by bunyons
Her "Ode de la Feet" air freshener
Has to smell worse than onions

Did she buy this house or lease it?
I'll bet there are strings attached
And if that shoe has scuff marks
Does that mean that her siding is scratched?

And God forbid, if there's a fungus
Would that be similar to mold?
And if she has a hole in the sole
She'd feel a draft when it's cold

I guess, I've said enough about this
And now, I really need to scoot
Maybe, she'll move up to a condo
And buy herself a boot
