  Sleep Well

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.

Had so many children didn't know what to do!

She threw them all in to a great iron pot.

and cooked 'em all up until tender & hot.

 

When they were done she skimmed off the fat.

The shirts,pants the shoes, and even a hat.

She called all the neighbors, to come have a feast,

and she told them a tale of the kids ,and a beast.

 

A terrible beast, came and snatched them away.

so they ate, as they listened in fear, and dismay.

Well, when she was finished, and all had been said,

all the neighbors went home, and she went to bed.

 

She slept quite well!!!!
