Wiser Eliza

Nobody was wiser than Eliza

She was cute and cuddly and nice
And gave everyone useful advice

She had 28 wisdom teeth
And lots more lurking beneath

She knew how to make the most noise
And the difference between girls and boys

She could change a baby’s diaper
And fit Daddy’s new windscreen wiper

She was brilliant at checkers and chess
And told her teddy bear how to dress

She knew how long to boil an egg
And how to fix a broken leg

She told fortunes three times a week
And karaoked in Latin and Greek

She knew how to make poodles pretty
And gave stocks and shares tips in the city

She did other kids’ homework for money
And knew exactly how bees make honey

She was the ‘go to’ sage
For kids of every age

But then to everyone’s surprise
She cried “ l’m so tired of being wise!”

I’d rather be jolly than wily
And in a flash she became Smiley Kylie
