Silly Woman
(Limacross)
Shirebrook woman we all thought a fool
Idiotic and not very cool
Living to play bingo
Luck left her this we know
You’d think her very rich with deep pool
When all her money was spent and gone
Openly broke she still carried on
Making every end meet
Approaching folk on street
Now begging just to finance her fun
Patricia
Ann Farnsworth-Simpson is a coal miner’s daughter, the
only girl among 6 lads. A young mother to a son, she became a widow before she turned 18. Patricia,
then, married her childhood sweetheart who fathered her lovely son and two
wonderful daughters. Her children encouraged her to pursue her own talents. After
51 years of marriage, she became a widow again recently. She fills her time
with poetry, helping others whenever she can.

Delete'fun' and 'gone' should rhyme, to get the Limerick part of the cross- hybrid? (acronistic). Enjoyed the fun idea, of mixing these disciplines and styles! Ralph
