Shirley Hawkins Poet Verse

Who Does She Think She Is

She thinks she is the cat's whiskers.
She sounds a little hoarse,
Because she has a frog in her throat.
She could not get that monkey off her back,
She was making a pig's ear of it,
Because she was a silly goose.
She wasn't a smart chick.
She was an old duck!
