IRMA

IRMA

Old lady Irma walks the town

With her beloved pet cow.

Irma must be at least ninety by now

Nothing keeps old Irma down

Every Sunday she sits in the pew

She loves a good wad of tobacco to chew.


The muggers and thugs lose by default

Nine times Irma's been arrested for assault.

She knows judo, and also karate

She is rich from when she won the state lottery

She's not the type to sit at home doing pottery.


Old lady Irma can cuss like a sailor

She's been fooling around with the thrift shop tailor

And the cops are always trying to nail her

For not keeping her cow on a leash.


Old lady Irma smokes pot, 

Those are the facts

Claims it helps her cataracts.

She rides a motorcycle when she's feeling wild

And dresses like a flower child.

A wizened wonder of a woman

Old lady Irma walks the town,

Nothing keeps old Irma down.
