A Busy Woman

Up and about she's never down,
Never not busy,
Running round,
Along with this she also has a family,
Sitting on the couch while she all around.
One day someone said you need a break,
Nelly is her name and she thought about that hard,
Another day past and she's still thinking about that,
Back home that night with yet again the rest of the family on the couch,
Learning that she does need a break.
Early in the morning when her husband went to work she sat on the couch and watched tv,
Night time came and the husband was back,
Especially confused and wondering why she's not running around.
She Nelly said to her husband I need a break,
So that's what happened.
