old petes mama gladys

Gladys, an old lady, forgot she was ninety-two Her body cannot do what it could at fifty-two She climbed the farmer’s fence and dropped down six feet Broke her hip, elbow and neck, said her son, Old Pete In the hospital waiting for surgery Ninety-two! She yelped. Surely that cannot be! Old Pete stomped off angry, and left her with me. I get his goat good sometimes, she told me with glee.
