THE LOST WATCH
I searched and searched within my purse,
But no watch could I find.
I sadly fear, Paulette, my dear
That watch is no longer thine.
But, I want you to know the good that came about,
From the search within my purse.
It proved to me, I’d better be cleaning it out,
Because it couldn’t get much worse!
The moral of this poem
Is for you to see,
The help you gave your ‘ole Auntie’,
For a better purse cleaner she’ll be.
Written by Peggy Dodd for her niece Paulette Lorsbach
