Poppy tries to nap

Poppy was like the old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children, she barely knew what to do. They always arrived in stacks of tens, still at home are twenty-two. Today she thought she would sneak off and take a nap, maybe two. The children were alarmed, where was mama mouse? They ran room to room, yelling up the house. They could not imagine where their mama could be of course. Since she always toils from sun to sun, like a working horse. Mama! Mama! Are you okay? The ones who found her said. She turned over and plopped a pillow tightly onto her little head. Everyone is worried! We called grandma Mama too! Mama’s eyes opened wide. Cleaning right now is what she had to do.
