written for a blog prompt on new horizon blog spot
    There was an old woman, who lived in a shoe. 
    Hit hard by the recession, what else can one do?

    She had several children with a guy from Nepal,
    who then started drinking and abandoned them all.

    In the shoe with the children, she barely could take it.
    Survival skills weak, she just wouldn't make it.

    One kid complained that the bread was too stale,
  so she beat them all soundly,  and now she's in jail.
