Welcome to the Garden



Maud went to college.

Sadie stayed at home.

Sadie scraped life

With a fine tooth comb



Sadie was one of the livingest chits

In all the land.



Sadie bore two babies

Under her maiden name.

Maud and Ma and Papa

Nealy died of shame.



When Sadie said her last so long

Her girls struck out from home

(Sadie had left as heritage

Her fine tooth comb.)



Maud, who went to college,

Is a thin brown mouse.

She is living all alone

I this old house.
