Poem - The Three Old Ladies
There was an old lady, all dressed in silk,
Who lived upon lemons and buttermilk.
And thinking the world was a sour old place,
She carried its acid all over her face.
Another old lady, all dressed in patches,
Lived upon nothing but safety matches.
So the world it made her strangle and cough,
And sure as you rubbed her, you set her off
Another old lady, all sunny and neat,
Who lived upon sugar and everything sweet,
Exclaimed, when she heard of their troubles, “I never!
For the world is so nice. I could live on for ever!”
Now, children, take your choice
of the foods your heart shall eat;
They are sour thoughts and nasty thoughts
And thoughts all good and sweet.
And whatever the heart feeds on,
Dear children, trust me,
Is precisely, what this queer, old world
Will seem to be.
