Little old lady
Cleaning the house
Talks to the cat
Plays with a mouse.
Reads cups and tracks treasure
Shrinks on a whim
Annoys her poor husband
He's not happy, not him.
Bargains with weasels
Tricks foxes and bears
She never quite knows
What the day brings and dares.
Mrs Pepperpot's her name
Shrink fit fever's to blame
Hires night watchmen of fur
Burns potatoes, harks at kitty purr.
Problem solver is she
In despair is he
Locks horns with a moose
Shouts boo to the goose.
But some things she knows
Through midsummer witch woes
Husband likes pancakes with bilberry jam
He loves her regardless, they don't give a damn.
