- There was an old woman
who lived in a shoe
she had so many children
she did not know what to do
she went to town to buy some bread
when she came home she found them all dead
she went to town to buy a coffin
when she came home she found them all laughing
she went upstairs and rang the bell
she broke her toe and down she fell.
