The Rest of the Story Poetry Contest-The Old Woman in the Shoe
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The old woman in the shoe loved the charity shops.
Once she was inside, seems like time stopped.
She rummaged and searched and became quite mad,
But when she came out, she was very glad.
With armfuls of stuff, all very cheap
For all her little ones and her peeps.
She was somewhat abashed, for the last time she went
She searched and gathered to a furious extent!
All of those bargains, they made her day,
But then she thought she heard someone say…
“Look over there at that funny old duck!”
“A funny old duck? Oooh, just my luck.”
But when she looked around and tried to see
Seemed as if they were all looking at she.
