Old Woman Nursery Rhyme for Contest

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
With so many children and not enough food
And cats and rats plus she was cuckoo
She lost her marbles, her kids, her pets, house too










Note: Nursery rhyme old woman who lives in a shoe

Gershon Wolf Date: 4/14/2024 7:12:00 PM Love it! Love the image of that cuckoo old woman. (Though I do feel sorry for her. Glad she's 'ficiton.') Hits the 'sweet spot, Karen. ~ Gershon Login to Reply Karen Jones Date: 4/14/2024 7:32:00 PM Thanks for reading Gershon! I appreciate you!

Nancy Kaufman Date: 2/29/2024 5:01:00 AM Hi Karen, This is too funny and I imagine it applies to some old women out there sadly. Good luck in your contest..very cute.. Login to Reply Karen Jones Date: 2/29/2024 7:05:00 AM Sadly likely true. Even so I am glad it wasn't too dark that you could find humor! Thanks Nancy.

Eve Roper Date: 2/28/2024 7:37:00 PM I love this, it is so cute. Good luck in the contest. Login to Reply Karen Jones Date: 2/28/2024 10:42:00 PM Thanks so much Eve!

Bj Legros Kelley Date: 2/28/2024 4:52:00 PM Sad poem. It would really stink to live in an old shoe, and with hungry children to boot! No wonder the poor old lady lost her mind. Login to Reply Karen Jones Date: 2/28/2024 5:04:00 PM Agreed! Thanks for reading BJ.

Duke Beaufort Date: 2/28/2024 11:58:00 AM A cute one. Makes me think she could've used some help getting her life in order. It's a difficult question...knowing when to help and when we're violating someone's independence. In this case, sounds like she became a ward of the state...that turns out to be the most costly. I may be reading too much into this. It is very clever. Login to Reply Karen Jones Date: 2/28/2024 1:07:00 PM No that is the most certain outcome. Sad but surely true in these situations! So happy you found this of interest!

Hilda Greenhough Date: 2/25/2024 8:05:00 AM Oh no. My greatest fear. Occasionally, I see myself as eccentric. Thanks for this poem. It was clever. Good luck. Login to Reply Karen Jones Date: 2/25/2024 10:02:00 AM Thanks Hilda! I think most of us poets are eccentric.
