The Rabbit Woman
By Elton Camp
Rabbits are known for fast multiplication
A few humans are in this same situation
Mrs. Vassilyev, a Russian peasant,
Holds the world record to the present
He feat, as it has been presented,
Is completely, officially documented
She lived from 1707 to 1782
Bore 69 kids before she was through
Twenty-seven times in a family way
“Prolific” is the only word to say
Of quadruplets, four sets
Triplets, seven times she gets
Of twins, she had sixteen pairs
A single birth she never dares
Her husband then wanted more
A second wife, eighteen bore
If you doubt that this can be
Google it for yourself and see
