ONCE THERE WAS AN OLD LADY

Shayl

There was an old lady

                       Who swallowed a fly

I don't know why,

                       She swallowed a fly

                    Perhaps she'll die

 

Who swallowed a spider

That wiggled and riggled

And giggled inside her,

 

Who swallowed the bird

How absurd to swallow a bird,

 

Who swallowed a cat

Imagine that she swallowed a cat,

 

Who swallowed a dog

My what a hog to swallow a dog,

 

Who swallowed a goat

Just opened her throat and swallow a

Goat,

 

Who swallowed a cow

I don't know how she swallowed a

Cow,

 

Who swallowed a horse

She's dead, of course!
