The Old Lady In the Shoe

There was an old lady who lived in a shoe She was sad and poor and feeling quite blue So many children, the count was twenty and two The cupboards were empty, they were really poor Something needed to be done, the old lady swore A sign ‘room for rent’ she put on the door Three little pigs came, the room to rent One look you could see, murder her intent Now the freezer is full, no money she spent The story she spread, the wolf was to blame Now the poor old wolf has unwanted fame All due to the old lady, what a terrible shame
