The New Maud Muller

The New Maud Muller
Maud Muller one November day
Rose and raked the leaves away,
Baked batch of pumpkin pies.
Set a pan Of bread to rise,
Made the beds and swept the house,
Killed bold marauding mouse,
Hung the curtains out to air,
Shook the rugs and combed her hair.
Powdered up her pretty nose,
Donned her new and nifty clothes,
Seized her beaded bag SO fine,
Priced at nineteen forty-nine,
Hailed trolley. took a ride,
Reached the polls and tripped inside,
And-although she bore no grudge-
Cast her vote against the Judge.
