There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do
So, she tied up some children with her shoelaces
Even the boy who wore his leg braces
She put them all down, in the cellar with no light
And chopped off the head of one child every night
The mean old woman was cold and bereft
She killed them all till there was one child left
It was the boy with the braces; he watched all the kids die
But for some scary mannered reason- the boy didn't cry
He found the unlucky old woman; tucked in her bed
Then he beat her with his shoe; made sure she was dead
When he knew she was dead, 'He -sat with a smile-
And shouted out loud!!
