POET'S

THE OLD WOMAN

by Ruby E. McCreight
Iam an old woman
But I don't live in a shoe
i don't have any children
Tho’ I wish I had a few
My life is sometimes lonely

Because I live alone,
1 wish ] had a smallish pet

That I could call my own. -

Apartment life is stupid.
You can't do things you like,
Most places have big notices
No kids, no pets, no bikes.
| wish that I had married
When I was young and gay,

I would have been so happy -

In a house, with things my
way. ; .
