A Fiesty Old Lady

   Oh, My Stars!

     (For Pat)

I know an old lady

Who lost all her stars; 

She comes from Seattle, 

Or maybe it's Mars.   

 

She looked at the sky

On a very dark night,  

But the stars had all vanished, 

Disappeared from her sight. 

 

"How shall I find them; 

Oh what shall I do? 

My stars are all missing, 

And now the moon too." 

 

Thus she lamented,  

With a heart-rending moan,

A very old lady, 

Feeling lost and alone.
