Josephine Wiggled Her Toes

For Josephine Irene Hill, if you you are half as intelligent as your father and half as beautiful as your mother, than you have already exceeded the world average.


Her name was Josephine Irene
And she had that crazy kick, you see
That turned her mama's face all green
And made her feel she had to pee
And mama, though she put up well
With all her rants and raves
She one day had to up and tell
Sweet Josephine, "Be brave!
"Go on!  Get out!  It's time to sprawl!
"You've got to stretch them toes!"
And answerin' her mama's call
Came Josephine's sweet nose
She sniffed about and took a peek
At what was goin' on outside
And with her hair all lookin' sleek
And nothing left to hide
She took a walk around the room
Shakin' hands and actin' swell
And everyone had to assume
That she would live her life out well
'Cause Josephine, that darling girl
Was smart like smartness goes
From the day she stepped into the world
And wiggled her sweet toes.
