Sadie was an old lady Who badly wanted a baby, She had a dog and a cat, A horse, pig and a rat, She was an eccentric old lady.

I understand Sadie, I think. She wants her baby to get bit by a dog and a rat. Eccentric?! ~ Phileas Fogg

Sadie was too old to give birth; The animals were a poor substitute, She needed Mr Fix.

I had my last baby when I was 39, considered old 46 years ago. I think the older the mother is, the less likely it becomes to see the child grow up in many cases.

I'd say so, Shirley. She's more than a "crazy old cat lady." Good one.
