Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 739 (Washrags To Boot)

There was a young woman, who didn’t live in a shoe-

But, she had so little money, she didn’t know what to do.

.

At this time, in her life, she couldn’t even afford a wash rag-

A pair of socks, or a cheap handbag.

.

But, as the years went by, she never became a millionaire-

But, financially, though, she did better fare.

.

When her daughter got married she bought her a dozen

washrags-

Ten pairs of socks, and of course, a couple of brand new

handbags.

.

Not much by today’s standards, but, a joy for this old woman-

Who at one time, could afford, none of the above items on hand.

.

There was a young woman, who did not live in a shoe-

But, she had so little money, she didn’t know what to do.
