The Sugar Lady

by Frank Asch

There is an old lady who lives down the hall,
Wrinkled and gray and toothless and small.
At seven already she' s up,
Going from door to door with a cup.
"Do you have any sugar?" she asks,
Although she' s got more than you.
"Do you have any sugar?" she asks,
Hoping you'll talk for a minute or two.
