How many stanzas are in the following poem.
Spaghetti, spaghetti, all over the place,
Up to my elbows - up to my face,
Over the carpet and under the chairs,
Into the hammock and wound round the stairs,
Filling the bathtub and covering the desk,
Making the sofa a mad mushy mess.
The party is ruined, I'm terrible worried,
The guests have all left (unless they are buried).
I told them, "Bring presents." I said, "Throw confetti."
I guess they heard wrong
'Cause they all threw spaghetti.
