MOTHER WOTSAT, OF WANAMAKERLAND

Of MOTHER WOTSAT you've heard tell

And if you've met this lovely belle,

You know she is not an old dame

Wrinkled, humpbacked, sadly lame.

Ah, no, she is a fine young maid

Who puts her sisters in the shade

With sparkling eyes and sylph-like form,

No wonder for her heart men storm.

But best of all, she has the art

To win each naughty kiddie's heart

By telling tales in rhyme and prose

Such tales as only WOTSAT knows.

And she is, oh, so very wise;

She answers kids of every size

When they call out, "Wotsat, and why?"

She never passes questions by.

For she knows well just how to find

Answers for each thirsty mind,

And BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE FAIRY WELL

Is at her hand, great truths to tell.
