One Lonely Little Lady Eating Her Ice Cream

Everywhere people there I stopped to look at an old lady fair She was only alone Licking her ice cream from a crunchy sweet cone Sitting and enjoying her treat While many a men around sweep their young ladies off their feet Nobody came to claim her Just enjoying what she was having Not bothering to get up from her chair My eyes wept for her because she had not a gentle man beside her We all come and go while the rest of her generation starts to slow Alas,my friend,they are soon forgotten and are cast out to the wild winds Everytime that I would come to this shopping mall My eyes would peer at an old mistress small Not even a small collie or pup for a companion Just a little lady enjoying her treasured ice cream
