The Old Lady, So Broken, As Blue! Poem by Michael Gale

T'was an old lady who was constantly blue,
She watched in horror, as her family had so
instantly grew! All the screaming of
children drove her, oh so crazy, As her
husband sat on the couch watching tv,
because he was so unexcused as lazy! The job
market was ripe for his own picking, But he
was unemployed as his choice, he would always
stay, as to sticking! This old lady could not
figure what to do, So she left him and the
kids, and she was no longer saddened or
felt so blue!
