My dear old mother played Suduko all day long
She never walked the dogs
And she never chopped the logs
Then finally the time came
When she would have to leave behind her game

And she said
"No, no, Suduko!
I must look at the numbers forever
No, no, Suduko!
I must put combinations of them together."

I said, "Mother, dear, this house is on fire
So you must leave your Suduko days behind."
I said, "Mother, dear, there's maggots in the pantry
So you must leave your Suduko days behind."

But she said,
"No, no, Suduko!
I must look at the numbers forever
No, no, Suduko!
I must put combinations of them together."

So, from the flames I pulled her, from the maggots did I save
And what reward did I receive for this courage I'd displayed?
She laid aside her pen
She looked up at me, and then

She said
"No more Suduko
All my numbers I have boxed
But oh, my darling daughter
Go back and rescue the dogs!"
