The Old Maid Gets a Goat
The Old Maid Gets a Goat
By Elton Camp
Miss Prunella found it too hard
To continue to mow her yard
For a solution, she asked all around
“Buy a goat,” was the advice she found
They said, “It’ll keep your yard neat
And fresh goat milk can’t be beat.”
She fenced her yard to prepare
A goat was soon grazing there
It’s true that her grass it ate
Also to shrubbery it did relate
“Oh, my goodness,” she said
After it devoured her flower bed
Some goat milk she decided to try
For, in the store, she couldn’t buy
Her attempt to milk sure did fail
Miss Prunella had bought a male
