There once was a woman who
lived in a boot,
With a bunch of cats and an
owl that hoots,
A few dogs that barked and
some bears that growled
And one lone coyote that
often howled.
“There’s not enough room!”
The woman often cried.
“If I want a breath I have
to go outside!”
There were bears in the
trees and cats on the door
And ten little bunnies
lying around on the floor.
One morning she woke up and
her house was too quiet.
“Maybe they’re all asleep.
No, I don’t buy it.”
But when the woman checked
all of them were asleep,
So she tiptoed around, not
making a peep.
Her heart filled with love
as she moved from room to room,
Sweeping and cleaning with
her mop and her broom.
And for the first time she
realized that she was happy the way things were,
With all the little ones
living with her.
From that day on, she
didn’t whine any more.
She loved living in a boot
with ten bunnies on the floor. |
