THE OLD WOMAN IN A SHOE by MOTHER GOOSE

First Line: THERE WAS AN OLD WOMAN WHO LIVED IN A SHOE
Last Line: SHE WHIPPED THEM ALL SOUNDLY AND PUT THEM TO BED.

THERE was an old woman who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children she didn't know what to do;
She gave them some broth without any bread;
She whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.
